Queensland home owners who have granny flats will be allowed to rent them out over the next three years under emergency planning changes designed to alleviate the state's housing crisis.
The move will enable secondary dwellings to be made available to people other than immediate family members and expand accommodation options for smaller households, such as students, single persons, older people and couples.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the change would mean "cheaper properties will enter the rental market, helping thousands of people".
