“Am I able to use a 1-Bedroom building as a primary residence?”

– Ryan, Merriwa NSW

Yes it can however It is a good idea to contact your local council to
inquire about any applicable restrictions, overlays, and zoning
regulations relevant to your property and area typically, a 1-bedroom
building is considered as a secondary dwelling or ‘granny-flat’ which is
added to a property that already has a primary dwelling. Both dwellings
share the same title, and utilities such as electricity and water
meters are not separate.

In most cases, councils tend to impose restrictions on the maximum
size of a dwelling rather than the minimum size. So, if your building
can be used as a secondary dwelling, it is likely that it can also be
used as a primary dwelling, unless there are specific circumstances such
as a master-planned area with land lease covenants or aesthetic
requirements for heritage sites.

Therefore, if you wish to use the 1-bedroom building as the primary
dwelling on your property, you should inquire directly with your council
for a definitive answer.
