Have your say on the “Granny Flats” package
The Government is proposing to make it easier to build small, self-contained and detached houses – commonly known as “granny flats” – by removing the need to obtain building consent and certain resource consents. The changes are intended to improve housing affordability and alleviate the housing shortage by reducing costs and timeframes involved. For the purposes of this article, we refer to these types of units as Minor Residential units (MRUs).
