MAKING ROOM: LESSONS FOR VICTORIA'S GRANNY FLAT REFORMS

12 Nov 2023

2 This growth in secondary dwellings may be underestimated due to under-reporting of secondary dwellings in the Census. [...] The Melbourne areas most likely to see more secondary dwellings are north of the city and in the outer suburbs, such as Tullamarine, Wyndham, and Casey. [...] Additionally, given the relative smallness of the category and the subjective definitions, some secondary dwellings may exit the category from year to year. [...] A major aspect of the policy liberalised the building of secondary dwellings in two key respects: • First, the AHSEPP allowed secondary dwellings to be built in zones R1 through R5. [...] Although many other secondary dwellings may have been occupied as part of the main household, and hence not captured in the census (Appendix A.2), this reflects that there is some degree of underlying demand for these dwellings to be built and subsequently rented out in the private rental market.
