What approvals do boarding houses need?

Boarding houses typically require a Development Application (DA) and must comply with SEPP Housing 2021 requirements including minimum room sizes, communal living areas, accessibility, fire safety, and carparking provisions.

How many rooms can a boarding house have?

The number of rooms depends on the site's FSR, building height limits, and minimum room size requirements under SEPP Housing 2021. Each room must be a minimum of 12sqm (single) or 16sqm (double), plus communal areas.
