Amber 80
The Amber 60 taken further. At 80m², the same clean gabled form now accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a configuration that opens the door to genuine flexibility. More room, more utility, the same considered exterior that makes the Amber range immediately recognisable. One of the few three bedroom granny flats available at the maximum size permitted across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

FAQs
-
Not for secondary dwellings in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast or in Logan — councils regulate gross floor area, siting and site cover instead, so a three bedroom granny flat is permitted wherever it fits. Ipswich was the exception until July 2025.
-
Yes. A three bedroom granny flat must remain subordinate to the primary dwelling, and the Gold Coast states this explicitly in its medium density, high density and rural zones. Two dwellings of comparable standing are assessed as a dual occupancy.
-
Setbacks vary by council, zone and lot width, though around 1.5 metres to a side or rear boundary is common in standard residential zones. In most cases rural zoning 3 metres.
Councils regulate floor area, not bedroom count — which is why three bedrooms inside 80m² is permitted everywhere it fits. Brisbane and the Gold Coast both allow 80m² as accepted development, and Ipswich dropped its one bedroom cap when City Plan 2025 took effect. The Amber 80 uses the full allowance and puts a third bedroom where most designs put a hallway.
Also consider the Amber 60 with two bedrooms or the Olive 80 with a larger deck.
