The Hills LGA
Postcode 2153
Bella Vista sits between Norwest Business Park and Kellyville, with Bella Vista Metro station on Old Windsor Road. Its streets were mostly developed from the 1990s onwards, including the Bella Vista Waters estate, so many homes are now old enough to be renovated or replaced.
Dual living in Bella Vista
A dual living layout keeps one house on one title, with a self-contained wing on the ground floor. It avoids the extra approvals of a second dwelling and is easier to adapt later if the family changes.
A secondary dwelling, or granny flat, is a separate small home on the same lot. It suits families who want more privacy or rental income, but it has its own lot-size and floor-area rules under the Housing SEPP and the lot cannot then be subdivided.
Planning in Bella Vista
Bella Vista is administered by The Hills Shire Council under The Hills Local Environmental Plan 2019. Land close to the Metro station has been planned for higher density than the surrounding streets, so zoning and height controls can vary within the suburb.
For a detached home or rebuild in the residential streets, complying development is often available. Where a granny flat is involved, the Housing SEPP sets the standards and a lot of at least 450 m² is needed to use the complying development pathway.
Authoritative planning sources
Controls vary by lot and can change. Confirm the current zoning, overlays and approval pathway for the property before relying on general guidance.

Common questions
Building in Bella Vista: common questions.
What is the difference between dual living and a granny flat?+
Dual living is one home with a self-contained wing, on one title. A granny flat is a second, separate small dwelling on the same lot, approved under the Housing SEPP. The approvals, costs and flexibility differ.
How big does my Bella Vista block need to be for a granny flat?+
To approve a secondary dwelling as complying development, NSW Planning sets a minimum lot area of 450 m². Smaller lots may still be possible through a development application.
Does living near Bella Vista Metro change what I can build?+
It can. Land close to the station has been planned for higher density, so zoning and height controls there may differ from streets further out. Your planning certificate shows the controls for your lot.
Can I subdivide a block after building a granny flat?+
No. NSW Planning states a lot with a secondary dwelling cannot be subdivided. If you want two titles, a dual occupancy (duplex) is the pathway to look at instead.
