Dalby & the Darling Downs
Class 1A certified, charred-timber homes, factory-built in Queensland and delivered complete. The Forge 12 — from $149,000, delivered to Dalby and right across the Darling Downs.
If you're looking for a granny flat, secondary dwelling or compact home in Dalby, the biggest question isn't style — it's whether you can actually get it council-approved, insured and lived in. Most "tiny homes" can't, because they're built as caravans or on wheels.
The Forge 12 is certified NCC Class 1A — the same classification as a standard house — so it can be lodged for council approval as a secondary or primary dwelling, insured as residential property, and legally rented. It's clad in Shou Sugi Ban charred timber and engineered on a BlueScope steel frame built for the Queensland climate.
Secondary dwellings in Dalby are assessed under Western Downs Regional Council's planning scheme. Check current local requirements at the official Western Downs Regional Council website, or ask us — we work with private certifiers on lodgement and supply the full certification pack with every home.
