A Developer’s Guide to Granny Flats

New planning changes intended to address Australia’s housing shortage have opened up “micro-development” opportunities for private investors and property developers.

So what are these opportunities and how can property developers tap into them?

Join us for a virtual course where we explore the market opportunity, planning framework, investment model and built outcomes associated with developing granny flats.
