A granny flat in Maroubra costs $150,000–$300,000+ depending on size and finishes. 1-bed from $150K, 2-bed from $200K. CDC fast-track approval in 10–15 business days. Buildana manages design, Randwick City Council approval and fixed-price construction.
Maroubra Secondary Dwellings
A granny flat in Maroubra depends on the block. The Randwick LGA's largest coastal suburb is Federation cottages, inter-war heritage, post-war brick and contemporary on 350 to 700m² blocks — the larger lots, especially the inland post-war ones, clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold and take a studio well, while the tighter village and beachfront blocks can be marginal, so the survey is the honest first step.
Where a block qualifies, a studio lets strongly across a big, well-serviced suburb. Heritage Conservation Areas cover the Maroubra village core and pockets, so those go through a full DA, and the R3 corridors along Maroubra Road and Anzac Parade may suit medium-density over a granny flat.
The ground is sandstone-dominant, so the slab is engineered off a real geotech, with substantial fall to Maroubra Beach on the eastern edge. Coastal-facing builds need salt-grade specification — marine-grade fixings and corrosion-resistant detailing. The older stock can carry fibro, so a licensed asbestos strip-out leads where any demolition is involved.
We build fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Survey, zoning, heritage and coast scoped first.
Buildana manages the full granny flat process in Maroubra — 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.

Depends on the block
Maroubra is cottages, heritage, post-war brick and contemporary on 350 to 700m² blocks — the larger inland lots clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold and take a studio well, while tighter village and beachfront blocks can be marginal.
The survey is the honest first step, and a qualifying studio lets strongly.
Heritage, coast and zoning
Heritage covers the village core and pockets, so those go through a full DA, and the R3 corridors may suit medium-density over a granny flat.
The eastern beach fall adds engineering, and coastal-facing builds need salt-grade fixings and corrosion-resistant detailing; older stock can carry fibro.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Most Maroubra blocks support a granny flat — the question is where it sits, how it accesses the street, and how it shares the yard with the main house. We work that out on site, with the existing house and existing services in front of us.
⏱1-bed or 2-bed floor plan designed for your Maroubra block — up to the NSW maximum of 60m². Layout, window placement, kitchen and bathroom positioning optimised for liveability and rental appeal.
⏱We lodge your CDC application with all required documentation — BASIX, plans, site analysis, stormwater. Private certifier approval in 10–15 business days.
⏱12-week typical timeline for a 60m² 2-bed: slab pour week 1, frame stand weeks 2–3, lock-up week 5, internal fit-out weeks 6–10, finishes and external works weeks 11–12. We provide the dated programme upfront so you can plan move-in or tenant placement.
⏱OC issued, defect-free inspection completed, keys handed over. Your granny flat is ready to occupy or lease.
⏱Quality Promise
Every Buildana granny flat in Maroubra is built under a fixed-price contract with full Maroubra council compliance and a 6-year structural warranty.
