Granny Flats in Western Australia
Rentable, Flexible, and Council-Compliant Granny Flats Across WA
Prestige Kit Homes designs and supplies customisable kit granny flats in Western Australia, helping homeowners across Perth and regional WA build compliant, versatile secondary dwellings for family use or rental income.
Thanks to recent changes in WA legislation, granny flats are now easier to rent out, offering new opportunities for homeowners to unlock income, support loved ones, or provide affordable housing options.

Why Build a Granny Flat in WA?
Recent updates to WA’s planning laws have made it easier than ever to build and rent out a granny flat, no longer restricting occupancy to family members only. These changes offer significant benefits:
Rental income from students, seniors, or single tenants
Affordable living space for adult children or carers
Downsizing options for empty nesters, with income potential
Flexibility and equity for WA property owners
Increased property value and usability
Granny flats in WA are now allowed in all residential zones, subject to meeting relevant planning and design criteria.
