Want to put a tiny home or modular building on your property, but stuck on council approval?
A pre-planning report is a useful place to start.
A town planner looks at your property and what you want to build, then works through the planning rules that apply. That can include zoning, setbacks, easements and overlays such as bushfire, flooding or heritage.
The aim is to understand what might be possible, what needs further investigation and what you may need for a council application.
It isn’t an approval or a guarantee. But it can help you avoid spending money on plans for a project that may not work on your block.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, start with your site and your intended use. Getting those answers early makes the next steps much clearer.
Save this for when you’re planning your tiny home or modular building project.
