Tasmanian Ancillary Company

An excellent decision on behalf of the state government! You will shortly be able to build an ancillary dwelling up to 90 square metres - instead of the previous 60 square metres - on the same block you have your principle residence on.

To put this into perspective, 60 SQM is just enough for a compact two bedroom/one bath home. 90 SQM can accommodate up to three bedrooms with a main bathroom and possibly an ensuite! That's a home capable of accommodating a full family.

We're not certain of the dates when this change will come into affect but it shouldn't be too far away. It's certainly worth thinking about starting the design process in anticipation of the change being implemented.

If you'd like to have an initial chat about how we might be able to help you design and build your new ancillary dwelling then please do not hesitate to contact Anthony on 0458 441 711.

Tasmanians will soon be able to build second dwellings that are 50 per cent larger than the current size. An urban planner says other jurisdictions should follow suit.

🌟 Top Ancillary Dwelling Trends in Australia for 2024 🌟

Ancillary dwellings are becoming more than just extra space—they're a lifestyle upgrade! Here are the hottest trends to watch:

🏠 Sustainable Living: Eco-friendly designs with solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and recycled materials are in high demand.

🎨 Creative Customization: Unique layouts and personalized interiors make every granny flat feel like home.

💻 Hybrid Spaces: Granny flats doubling as home offices or creative studios are perfect for remote work and side hustles.

🌱 Indoor-Outdoor Living: Large sliding doors, courtyards, and outdoor kitchens blur the lines between inside and out.

Whether you're building for family, income, or lifestyle, 2024 is the year to think big in small spaces! ✨

Independent reviews are always a good way of figuring out whether we do a great job or an average one. Happily, to date, we've received only 5 star Google reviews. Very proud of that.

The polished floors are finished! And that view! You wouldn't think that this a 60m2 ancillary dwelling but it is. You can pack a great deal into a small space.

Call us on 0439 570 490 if you'd like one of these on your block.

Ancillary dwellings don't have to be tiny. We've nearly finished this one we are building in Forcett. It still has a 60 SQM footprint but it is over 6 metres tall. Upstairs there is a huge loft/storage space. The ceilings internally are a minimum of 2.7 metres high high and the glazing on the front elevation lets the light flood in. It really is something else!

If you'd like us to design an ancillary sized dwelling on your block - and don't forget that almost every block in Tasmania can accommodate one even if there is an existing home - then get in touch today on 0439 570 490 or email us at [email protected].

We'd love to help!
