No Planning Approval Needed Under 70sqm! – Thanks to recent government changes, granny flats under 70sqm no longer need planning approval. However, a building permit is still required, and we handle the entire process to make it simple and stress-free.

Unlike standard granny flats that feel like a fridge in winter and an oven in summer, our Ecopods are built for superior insulation and energy efficiency. With double glazing, Pro Clima wrapping, and airtight construction, you’ll enjoy a comfortable, stable indoor temperature while saving on energy bills.

Many homeowners use their Ecopods for rental income, whether as a long-term rental or an Airbnb investment. With growing demand for high-quality, energy-efficient living, your Ecopod can start generating income quickly and pay for itself.

Before adding an Ecopod or granny flat, there are a few things to check—but don’t worry, we handle it all for you!

✅ Site Access & Delivery – We’ll make sure your site is suitable for transport and installation.
✅ Site Survey & Positioning – While no planning approval is needed for homes under 70sqm, your Ecopod still needs the right placement to meet setback rules.
✅ Soil & Foundation Check – A soil test helps determine the best footing system forstability.
✅ Wind & Bushfire Rating – Some areas need a wind classification or bushfire risk assessment—we’ll sort this out if needed.
✅ Energy Efficiency & Services – Our homes are designed for comfort and energy savings, but council requires an Energy Certification. We also check if you need mains connections or a septic system.
✅ Building Permit – Even though planning approval isn’t required under 70sqm, a building permit is still needed, and we take care of the whole process for you.

There are a few additional costs to consider based on your site requirements. The good news? We handle the entire process for you, so there are no surprises!

✅ Bushfire Upgrades – If your site is in a bushfire-prone area, upgrades may be needed to bring your building to the necessary BAL rating.
✅ Site Preparation & Access – Your site needs to be clear and level for installation. If there are trees or obstacles in the way, they may need to be removed. We’ll assess your site and let you know what’s needed.
✅ Service Connections – Your Ecopod is built fully wired and plumbed, ready for connection. Depending on your area, you may need a qualified electrician, plumber, or septic system installation. We’ll organise this for you.
✅ Crane Hire (If Needed) – Some sites with limited access may require a crane to lift and position the Ecopod. We’ll check this in advance and arrange everything if needed.
✅ Landscaping & Driveways – If you plan to add fencing, paths, or driveways, allow for additional costs.
✅ Transport & Installation – Costs vary depending on your location, but we’ll provide a full breakdown upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
