Approvals
Council Rules and Complying Development in Parramatta
Most granny flats in Parramatta follow one of two approval paths. Complying development, approved through a Complying Development Certificate, is the fast-track route for blocks that meet the standard criteria. A Development Application through council applies when a site falls outside those rules or sits within a special planning zone.
As a general guide, a complying development granny flat needs a block of at least 450 square metres and a minimum 12 metre frontage, with a 3 metre setback from the rear boundary and 0.9 metre setbacks to the sides. We check every one of these factors during your free site inspection, including slope, drainage and existing services, and we manage the entire approval process for you.

Parramatta FAQs
Is my Parramatta block eligible for a granny flat?
If your land is at least 450 square metres with a 12 metre frontage, there is a strong chance you qualify under complying development. We confirm this properly during a free site inspection, because factors like zoning, slope and services all play a part. Most granny flats are completed within 12 to 20 weeks once approval is granted. Our 4-week approval guarantee helps you reach that construction stage sooner.
What is the difference between a DA and a CDC?
A Complying Development Certificate is a faster approval for blocks that meet the standard rules, while a Development Application goes through council and suits sites that fall outside those rules. We advise which path fits your property and handle the paperwork either way.
Can I earn rental income from a granny flat in Parramatta?
Yes. Parramatta has strong rental demand, and a well-designed granny flat can generate a healthy return while adding long-term value to your property.
