70m² build
without a consent?

If you answer YES to all questions, you’re likely eligible for the granny flat exemption — meaning you can build without a building consent, as long as all other requirements are met. This keeps your project faster, simpler, and more affordable.

Is there an existing dwelling on the property?
Is the new building 70m² or less (internal floor area)?
Is the new building at least 2.0m away from any other building/dwelling?
Is the roof height no greater than 4.0m above the finished floor level?
Is the finished floor level no more than 1.0m above ground level?

If this isn’t possible, we can discuss excavation options with you.

Is the building at least 2.0m from every boundary?

Note: Rural and lifestyle zones often require larger setbacks
under the District Plan — we’ll confirm this for your exact site.

If you answered NO to any question, the exemption may not apply. In that case, you may need building consent and/or resource consent depending on your site and council rules — and we can guide you through that process to keep things stress‑free.
