In this video, VanHomes takes you behind the scenes for an installation of a movable granny flat with no council building approval.
Why doesn’t a VanHome need any council building approval?
A VanHome is a registrable caravan. It is built to comply with caravan standards. Our homes are built onto a towable chassis, with fully functioning wheels, brakes, and lights. Your VanHome is 100% relocatable.
Our innovative system allows us to build the unit on hinges. Your VanHome can expand from 2.4m right up to 7m.
In NSW, there’s a piece of legislation that states you can have a caravan on your property to accommodate a member of your household without prior council building approval. This not only means you can situate your VanHome on your property. It also means our VanHomes can be sited in Flood Zones, Fire Zones, under the minimum block requirements and saves you a ton of time and money in development applications.
VanHomes. We always recommend you check with your council in regards to council building approval.
VanHomes is the perfect solution in the situation where the person that's living in the VanHome is related to the person in the main dwelling on the property. Many Australian couples are looking for the flexibility of lifestyle, along with a more secure plan for their retirement. A granny-flat unit provides this security and is an affordable retirement option that keeps families close to their loved ones.
