Austral Granny Flat Construction — Fixed Price
Austral is a growth suburb in the middle of major land releases, and that shapes the granny flat picture. The new lots here run 300 to 450m², and a good number sit at or below the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold for a 60m² secondary dwelling. So the honest starting point is the survey — only the larger registered lots qualify for the CDC path, and I check yours before anything else.
Where a lot does clear 450m², Austral's proximity to Leppington station and the strong tenant demand across the growth corridor make a rear dwelling let quickly. Where it falls short, I'll say so — there's no point designing a dwelling that won't get the tick.
The stock is brand new, so fibro isn't a factor. The ground is highly reactive clay, so on qualifying lots the slab is a stiffened raft engineered off a real geotech.
We build fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. In Austral, the survey decides it — get the feasibility done before you assume the block qualifies.
Buildana manages the full granny flat process in Austral — 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.

Only the larger lots qualify
Austral's new-release lots run 300 to 450m², and many sit at or below the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold. Only the larger registered lots clear it for the CDC path, so the survey is the honest first step.
Where a lot qualifies, proximity to Leppington station and growth-corridor demand make a rear dwelling let quickly. Where it doesn't, I'll say so.
New stock, reactive clay
The brand-new stock means fibro isn't a factor, keeping the site work clean.
The highly reactive clay means the slab is a stiffened raft engineered off a real geotech on qualifying lots.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Granny flats get underestimated. A lot of builders treat them as a kit-home product. We don't. Your Austral block has a main dwelling, a driveway, service connections, trees, and neighbours — the secondary dwelling gets designed around those realities.
⏱The 60m² SEPP cap is not a suggestion. Every millimetre gets used — kitchen, bathroom, laundry, living, bedroom, storage — with the envelope tuned for Austral's sun and prevailing breeze. Real rooms, not compromise spaces.
⏱CDC gets lodged through a private certifier the week design locks in. 10–15 business days later, slab starts. The trades sequence tight because the footprint is small — one plumber, one sparkie, one tiler, one programme.
⏱Handover gives you a genuinely rentable second home. Separate meter, independent hot water, standalone bathroom, full kitchen. Ready to lease on handover day, not a 'studio' that needs another $20K of finishing.
⏱Quality Promise
We build Austral granny flats that hit the NSW 60m² maximum cleanly. Engineered slab, separate meter, rental-ready at handover.
