Building and Construction (Small Stand-alone Dwellings) Amendment Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill is an omnibus bill intended to reduce the time and cost of building a granny flat by permitting small stand-alone dwellings up to 70 square metres to be built without a building consent if certain conditions are met.MP in charge
