Padstow Heights Secondary Dwellings
A granny flat builder in Padstow Heights has premium ground to work with — the 1940s to 1970s homes sit on generous 600 to 900m² blocks in a bush setting near the Georges River, well clear of the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold. A 60m² secondary dwelling is achievable on nearly every lot, and the premium character supports strong rents.
The ground is moderately reactive, so the slab is engineered off a real geotech to suit — a proper footing calibrated to the actual soil. The older stock commonly carries fibro, so a licensed asbestos strip-out leads where any demolition is involved.
The wide blocks give real flexibility on siting — you can keep the secondary dwelling well separated with its own access and private open space, which matters on a premium bush block where crowding the setting undercuts the whole point. Any bushland interface I check for bushfire mapping early.

Premium bush-setting blocks
Padstow Heights' 600 to 900m² lots clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold with plenty to spare, so a 60m² secondary dwelling is achievable on nearly every block via the CDC path.
The premium bush character supports strong rents, and the wide blocks let you separate the dwelling properly without crowding the setting.
Older stock, check the interface
The moderately reactive ground gets a slab engineered off a real geotech, and the older stock commonly carries fibro, so a licensed asbestos strip-out leads where demolition is involved.
Any bushland interface I check for bushfire mapping early, since it can add construction requirements.
