Why we don’t publish a Mons approval rate
Our records hold 2 decided secondary dwelling (granny flat) applications on Mons properties. A percentage computed from a sample that small would look authoritative and mean almost nothing, so we don’t publish one. That is not a gap in council data — it usually reflects that many compliant granny flats proceed without a development application (building approval only), so few ever appear in DA records.
Across Sunshine Coast as a whole the sample is meaningful: 82% of 310 decided secondary dwelling (granny flat) applications were approved, with a median decision time of 67 days. These are real, decided applications assessed by the Sunshine Coast council, not estimates or modelling.
Whether a granny flat works on a specific Mons block comes down to the zone, precinct and overlays for that address — lot size, flood and character mapping decide more than suburb averages ever will.
About this data
These figures summarise decided development applications recorded against Mons properties and Sunshine Coast council records, current as of 26 July 2026. Past decisions describe how comparable proposals have fared — they do not guarantee, and cannot predict, the outcome of any future application. This page is general information, not planning or legal advice: what is achievable on a specific site depends on its zoning, overlays, lot dimensions and assessment pathway.
