Granny Flat FAQ — Townsville

Do you build granny flats yourselves?

No. Townsville Granny Flats is a referral service. We connect you with an independent local licensed builder. See how our referral service works.

How big can I build?

90 m² gross floor area (excluding a single carport or garage).

How much does it cost?

Published 2026 Townsville guides put most turnkey 1–2 bed flats around $110,000–$210,000 before some site extras. See costs.

Can I rent it out?

Queensland state rules since 2022 allow a secondary dwelling to be occupied by anyone, not only family. Local scheme rules on shared services and driveways may still apply — confirm for your lot.

Can I subdivide it?

Not as a secondary dwelling. Separate titles mean a different (dual occupancy / reconfiguration) pathway.
