Changes to allow Tasmanians to build larger secondary residences on their properties will come into effect this month.
This change cuts red tape for Tasmanians wanting more diverse housing options, with granny flats expanding in size by 50 per cent.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff said we are delivering on our plan to provide more flexibility for Tasmanian families and create more housing opportunities in communities.
"The granny flat size expansion will increase housing options for families across the State," Premier Rockliff said.
"We are building an even better Tasmania by increasing housing supply."
Minister for Housing and Planning, Kerry Vincent, said these changes are another part of our plan to boost housing supply, reduce barriers and give Tasmanians more housing options.
"By expanding the maximum size of secondary residences from 60 square metres to 90 square metres, it gives Tasmanians more options," Minister Vincent said.
"These homes can make use of existing residential land and infrastructure, delivering more housing choices close to services."
The reforms follow consultation with councils, industry and the community, with strong support expressed for larger secondary residences.
The changes will come into effect from November 25.
