In Melbourne's property market, a well-planned secondary dwelling can generate meaningful rental income, house a family member, or significantly increase land value.
But in Victoria, navigating planning permits, ResCode requirements, and council rules without guidance can cost both time and money.
Japan Homes starts with an honest feasibility conversation β researching what's permitted on your specific Melbourne property before any commitment is made. If it's viable, we manage the full process from design through to handover and certification.
