Short answer
Yes, but it is not automatic. You must register the property as AL with the local council and meet requirements such as minimum areas, safety, and, in some areas, restrictions on new registrations. Check the building's licence and condominium rules; some buildings or zones may not allow AL. Confirm current rules with the local council and the AL registration portal.
