Many Abbotsbury properties are suitable for a secondary dwelling, but eligibility depends on the individual block. Under NSW planning rules, a detached or attached secondary dwelling generally needs a lot of at least 450m² to use the complying-development pathway, subject to the other Housing SEPP requirements. Under the Housing SEPP, secondary dwellings are generally limited to 60m², unless another applicable planning instrument permits a greater floor area.

Some granny flats can be approved through the complying-development pathway when the property and proposed design satisfy the requirements of the NSW Housing SEPP and other applicable standards.
For a detached or attached secondary dwelling to qualify, the lot generally needs to be at least 450m² and the project must satisfy the relevant development standards.
Not meeting the requirements for complying development does not automatically mean a granny flat cannot be built.
NSW Planning states that where a proposal does not meet all complying-development requirements, it may still be possible to submit a development application to {Council}.
Rather than using a blanket statement for the whole suburb, Granny Flats X confirms the appropriate authority for your specific block during the initial property assessment — including where {Location} sits near a council boundary.
