The Big Red-Tape
Reduction is Here.
For years, adding a "granny flat" in Victoria was a massive legal headache. No more. With the new Small Second Dwelling laws, building your premium architectural sanctuary is easier, faster, and fully permitted.

Premium Luxury Finish
How Victoria Slashed the Red Tape
No more proving "dependency," no more mandatory removal notices. The Victorian State Government has permanently changed the laws around Small Second Dwellings.
No Planning Permit Required
If your second dwelling is 60m² or less, you generally do not need a planning permit in standard residential zones, assuming zero environmental or heritage overlays exist.
Rent It To Anyone
The dependency restrictions are completely dead. You are legally free to rent the dwelling to family, long-term tenants for extra income, or professional key workers.
No Extra Car Mandates
Zero requirement to construct or designate additional off-street parking spots for the secondary dwelling, saving you crucial garden and driveway footprint.
No Reticulated Natural Gas
New dwellings cannot connect to mains natural gas lines. Our premium SHP Freedom 60 modules come natively 100% all-electric for modern energy-efficient living.
Building Permits Mandatory
No planning permit doesn't mean substandard quality. A Building Permit is always required to guarantee compliance with 7-star energy standards and safety codes.
The Freedom 60 Advantage
Our luxury signature Freedom 60 sits precisely at that compliant 60m² sweet spot. Stunning architect-quality finishes without the premium architect price tag.

Generate High Yield Income
Under the old rules, you could not rent out your backyard granny flat to generate revenue. Today, the Victoria rental landscape has completely shifted.
With building costs representing a fraction of median Victorian residential purchase prices, small second dwellings deliver outstanding rent-to-capital profiles across Melbourne metro and regional holiday hotspots.
