Custom Granny Flats for Every Lifestyle & Property in Victoria
Granny flats are becoming an increasingly popular way for Victorian homeowners to add value, create additional living space, and support multi-generational living. Whether you need a private unit for elderly parents, a retreat for older children, or even a potential source of passive income, a well-designed granny flat is a practical and future-proof investment.
At Prestige Kit Homes, we design and supply quality granny flat kits across Victoria, from Melbourne’s suburbs to regional towns and coastal locations. Every one of our granny flats is fully customisable, allowing you to tailor the floor plan, finishes, and materials to suit your property and needs.
Why Build a Granny Flat in Victoria?
A granny flat — often referred to as a secondary dwelling in Victoria — is a self-contained unit located on the same block as an existing home. They offer:
Independent living for elderly relatives or adult children
A functional studio or office space
Extra accommodation for guests or extended family
Rental potential, depending on council regulations
Increased property value and long-term flexibility
With land availability becoming tighter in many parts of Victoria, adding a granny flat is a great way to make better use of your existing block — without needing to subdivide or move.
Granny Flat Rules & Council Requirements in Victoria
Building a granny flat in Victoria comes with specific planning rules that vary between councils. There is no single statewide policy, so it’s essential to check your local council’s planning scheme for zoning and development criteria.
However, some general guidelines apply across most councils:
The granny flat must be associated with the main dwelling
Typically must be self-contained (kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom)
Often restricted in size — commonly 60–80m² maximum
Must comply with setback, height, and site coverage rules
Usually not permitted to be rented to non-family members without council approval
A Planning Permit or Building Permit may be required — or both
Granny flats in Victoria are commonly called Dependent Person’s Units (DPUs) and may be restricted to occupancy by a person dependent on the main dwelling’s residents.
Some councils may require removal of the unit if it is no longer used by a dependent person, so it’s crucial to check before proceeding. We recommend contacting your local council and discussing your intentions in writing before committing to a build.
