Granny Flats Designed for Annangrove Blocks
Annangrove is acreage — 1 to 10 hectare rural-residential holdings out on the western edge of The Hills — so a granny flat here isn't the tight-block exercise it is in the suburbs. Space is never the problem. The path to approval and the servicing are what shape the job.
On RU2 rural land a secondary dwelling generally goes through a development application rather than the fast complying-development route the suburban blocks use. That's more process, but on acreage you've usually got the room to place it wherever suits — near the main house or set apart for real independence.
The land is Hawkesbury Sandstone, and most of Annangrove carries a bushfire-prone overlay, so the design has to meet the RFS building requirements for its BAL rating. On-site wastewater — an AWTS system — is the norm out here too, and a second dwelling has to be serviced into that.
I build these fixed-price with the DA path, bushfire rating and effluent servicing worked out before I quote. Licence HBL 487805C.
Buildana manages the full granny flat process in Annangrove — from site assessment and CDC fast-track approval through to fixed-price construction and handover. We build studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom designs up to the NSW maximum of 60m².

Acreage changes the approval, not the ambition
On RU2 land the secondary dwelling generally needs a DA — the complying-development shortcut most suburban granny flats use doesn't apply the same way out here. It's more paperwork, but on a multi-hectare holding you've got the freedom to site it well: privacy, its own access, real separation.
Because there's so much room, these builds tend to be more house than flat — proper independent accommodation for family, a manager, or a rental, done to a standard that suits an acreage property.
Bushfire and servicing are the real work
Most of Annangrove is bushfire-prone, so the second dwelling is designed to its BAL rating under the RFS requirements — construction detailing, defendable space, sometimes a water supply for firefighting. That's costed in, not bolted on.
Out here you're on tank water and on-site wastewater, so the flat has to be plumbed into an AWTS or a new system sized for the extra load. Sandstone footings get designed off a geotech. I sort all of that before the number's locked.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We inspect your Annangrove block — lot size (typical 1–10ha (acreage)), setbacks, services, access, Class M soil check and The Hills Shire Council requirements. You'll know if a granny flat is feasible before spending a dollar.
⏱Design phase covers layout, orientation on your Annangrove block, bathroom and kitchen placement, natural light, privacy screening, and entry path. You approve the design before we move to certification.
⏱Approval pack lodged with our preferred private certifier (Buildana works with several across the The Hills area). They've reviewed our designs before, know our documentation standard, and turn approvals around at the fast end of the legislated window.
⏱Construction runs 10–16 weeks from slab pour. Class M engineered slab, timber or steel frame, Colorbond roof, full internal fit-out, and separate service connections.
⏱Handover documentation includes everything you need to list with a property manager: OC, BASIX, structural cert, appliance manuals, separate metering details. Photos for the listing taken before furniture goes in.
⏱Quality Promise
We build Annangrove granny flats that hit the NSW 60m² maximum cleanly. Engineered slab, separate meter, rental-ready at handover.
