Hi Brazen, A quick question for you. Is it possible to convert a detached garage to 2 separate ensuite bedrooms? Also, my local council (Auburn) did mention a while ago that they would not approve the conversion of a garage to granny flat because I must have a garage for at least 1 vehicle to...

Great to hear. Thanks once again Brazen.

Hi Brazen, What was your client building on their property? I'm in Auburn council and is thinking of building a granny flat at the back of my property. I'm not sure if I will get slugged with the S94 contribution fees. I think I did read somewhere that I will only be charged this fee if...
