## Resource

Homeowners get a major upgrade: new rules make it easier to add space, adapt homes, or create separate living units—without the usual red tape. Starting Monday, the 27th, you can now build up to 45 sq m detached spaces, split your home into two units, or expand your backyard shed, office, or gym—all while keeping safety and building codes intact. The goal? More flexible, practical housing that lets people age in place, support family or friends, or adapt to changing needs—without moving away from home.
