The article informed readers of the opportunity that exists through building granny flats to achieve a rental yield of up to 15 per cent – which is 10 per cent more than the average rental return achieved on a subdivision.

The article also drew attention to the special rules surrounding granny flat approvals in NSW, in particular the fact that in most circumstances you do not require council approval to build a granny flat.
