Residential 1B (Rooming House)

Residential 1B is a building classification under Victorian Building Regulations that applies to Rooming Houses, not a zoning or planning term. It defines a dwelling where multiple unrelated tenants each rent their own room under a separate rental agreement, sharing common areas such as a kitchen and laundry. A standard home falls under Class 1A, built for a single household, a Residential 1B takes it further by accommodating up to 12 occupants within a maximum floor area of 300sqm.
Rooming Houses offer individual rooms for rent to tenants, providing an affordable and flexible housing option. Because a Residential 1B is assessed under building regulations rather than planning law, a planning permit is in most cases not required, making it a faster and more cost-effective path to development. With the increasing demand for affordable housing solutions, Rooming Houses present an excellent investment opportunity for property owners.
