Start with the 60 m2 question
Many Victorian homeowners are considering secondary dwellings up to 60 m2. Eligibility is still site-specific, and building permits, siting rules, overlays and services need checking.

Quick Answers
Useful answers before you choose
These are the early questions that usually decide whether a cabin is worth exploring for your property.
What is a small second dwelling?
For this site, it means a compact, separate cabin used as additional accommodation where the site and approvals support that use.
Which cabin sizes are most relevant?
Self-contained 30 m2 cabins can suit compact accommodation, while one and two-bedroom models around 43-60 m2 are more common for longer stays.
What should I confirm before choosing a model?
Confirm the intended use, available space, services, access, overlays, setback constraints and whether a building surveyor sees a practical permit pathway.
