How to Include a Kitchenette in a Gold Coast Granny Flat
Incorporating a functional kitchenette into a Gold Coast granny flat requires space-efficient design while adhering to local building codes. Begin by allocating a 2.4 m run for base cabinetry—incorporating a 600 mm-wide sink unit connected to the reticulated water supply and a 2-burner induction cooktop to avoid gas installation complexities. Above the cooktop, install a compact under-cupboard rangehood—Dulux-rated for QLD humidity—to ensure compliance with AS/NZS 5601.2 if using gas, though most opt for electric induction to simplify plumbing. Include a 450 mm-wide compact oven or a built-in microwave beneath the bench, ensuring a 10 A dedicated circuit as per AS/NZS 3000. Maximise storage with 400 mm-high overhead cupboards extending to the ceiling, using moisture-resistant melamine in neutral coastal colours, ideal for Surfers Paradise granny flats. Use a laminated benchtop with anti-mould edging to cope with Gold Coast’s humidity. Place a slimline dishwasher (450 mm) adjacent to the sink if space allows, or allocate an underbench space for a portable bar fridge on a 10 A circuit. Finally, fit LED strip lighting under cabinets for task illumination. This kitchenette layout ensures a compact, efficient cooking and meal prep area that meets Gold Coast building regs and coastal lifestyle demands.
