    Granny Flats and Section 94 Contributions Explained

    Granny Flats and Section 94 Contributions Explained

    Section 94's are for additional housing built on one property. ie: the first house has no contributions (they were paid when the original developer subdivided your block).

    Oh alright it's not useless :D Though I would much prefer 3x4m rather than 1.8x6.6m any day. Plus grannies do have families. And most of these joints are going to be used for everyday tenants with friends to entertain. It is according to the Macquarie and Oxford dictionary. :p

    That's a seriously small deck Brazen. Useless IMHO. I'm building a kit home at present and they are designed with 1.8m decks. Don't know why they bother? We expanded ours out to 3m - nice to accommodate a reasonable size table and chairs. Thanks for the info mate. Byron shire is a nice place...
