In this video, VanHomes takes you behind the scenes for an installation of a movable granny flat with no council building approval.
Why doesn’t a VanHome need any council building approval?
A VanHome is a registrable caravan. It is built to comply with caravan standards. Our homes are built onto a towable chassis, with fully functioning wheels, brakes and lights. Your VanHome is 100% relocatable.
Our innovative system allows us to build the unit on hinges. Your VanHome can expand from 2.4m right up to 7m.
In NSW, there’s a piece of legislation that states you can have a caravan on your property to accommodate a member of your household without prior council building approval. This not only means you can situate your VanHome on your property. It also means our VanHomes can be sited in Flood Zones, Fire Zones, under the minimum block requirements and saves you a ton of time and money in development applications.
VanHomes. We always recommend you check with your council in regards to council building approval.
VanHomes is unique by nature. As a registerable caravan, for most properties, your VanHome can be easily added as a second dwelling without the need for council or building approvals. All VanHomes can also be customised to your needs, whether you require special grab railings in the bathroom or other features to make your life easier.
