The City of Greater Bendigo is hosting an information session on building a small second home on your land. Due to changes introduced by Victorian Government, small second homes up to 60 square metres can now be built in many cases without a planning permit. They still require a building permit. Hear from City planners and industry experts on the simplified process of building a second smaller home within your residential boundary. City officers will be available to talk through the process including meeting any requirements. They will also talk through the considerations should a planning permit be required. Then hear from an industry representative, Swanbuild, to better understand the costs associated and considerations for building a small second dwelling. A Q&A will follow the presentation. Please arrive at 5pm for a 5.15 start.
