GMB : https://g.co/kgs/EQBBKfV Gold Coast Granny Flat Floor Plan Ideas for Families Optimal floor plan design for a Gold Coast granny flat catering to families focuses on space efficiency and functionality, especially on blocks near Helensvale or Oxenford. Start with an open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone of around 30 m² to facilitate family gatherings and maximise natural light through north-facing sliding doors. The kitchen can feature a 2.7 m island bench with stone benchtop and overhead pendant lights, offering both storage and dining space. Include two bedrooms—each approximately 10 m²—with built-in robes and ceiling fans to accommodate children or guests; place them on opposite sides of the living area for privacy. A family bathroom with a shower, vanity and toilet, plus a separate WC, improves morning routines. Add a compact laundry with direct external access to a covered clothesline, common in Queensland, making washing practical in high-humidity weather. Provide a single carport beneath a raised living area or a single-garage option off a side boundary, ensuring at least 1 m clearance from fences. Incorporate under-floor storage accessible from an internal hall cupboard to stow holiday gear from nearby beaches. This family-friendly layout meets Gold Coast City Council’s 80 m² maximum floor area for multi-bedroom granny flats, balancing comfort with compliance.
