A change to planning rules to allow Queenslanders to rent out their granny flats will increase affordable housing stocks, the state government says.
Restrictions on who can live in granny flats will be removed so secondary dwellings can be rented on the open market, according to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.
"I know the rental market is tough and, right now, homeowners can't rent secondary dwellings to anyone other than immediate family," she said in a Facebook post on Friday.
