Previously, Tasmanians looking to build something larger than the traditional granny flat have needed to undertake more expensive options to meet their needs.
Minister for Housing and Planning, Kerry Vincent, said the Government was making it easier for people to build the home they want and need.
"A 60m2 granny flat is great for a single or a couple, but it locks out much more of the market," Minister Vincent said.
"By increasing the size of a granny flat by 50 per cent, we are supporting families to embrace medium density living.
"These changes give families room to grow as life changes, while maintaining the ability to upsize their existing property.
"There is an appetite in the market for this type of medium-density build, and supersized granny flats really do meet that requirement.
"We are delivering more homes for Tasmanians, and this common-sense planning change will make building cheaper and easier for families.
"It allows us to build greater density in our urban areas meaning intergenerational homes, greater home security and support for the construction industry."
