A granny flat in Peakhurst 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, Georges River Council approval and fixed-price construction.
Peakhurst Secondary Dwellings
Peakhurst is a solid residential suburb west of Mortdale and Oatley — 1950s to 1990s brick on 500 to 700m² blocks, with a shopping centre, schools and Mortdale station close by. Those good-sized blocks make it a workable granny flat suburb, with the Georges River foreshore adding a wrinkle on the lots near the water.
Most blocks here have room for a proper second dwelling with its own yard. Along Forest Road the zoning lifts to R3, and on the foreshore lots near the river the Foreshore Building Line keeps building back from the water.
The ground is the shale-sandstone interface with river alluvial on the foreshore, so the footing is designed off a geotech — clay, rock or alluvial depending on where your block sits.
Fixed price with the zoning, foreshore and soil all checked first. Licence HBL 487805C.
Buildana manages the full granny flat process in Peakhurst — 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.

Workable blocks, foreshore to watch
Peakhurst's 500 to 700m² blocks give you room to place a second dwelling well, and being close to Mortdale station and the local shops, the demand is steady. On the R2 residential streets it's a straightforward build.
On the lots near the Georges River foreshore, the Foreshore Building Line keeps building back from the water, and there may be a referral. I check whether your block is affected before promising a layout.
Interface ground, tested
The ground runs from shale-sandstone interface on the higher ground to river alluvial near the foreshore, so the footing is designed off a geotech for what your block actually has — clay, rock or alluvial. That's what keeps the fixed price stable.
A tidy flat here lets steadily off Mortdale station, though I won't quote a weekly figure I can't back.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Free on-site assessment of your Peakhurst property. We measure setbacks, check existing services, assess access, and confirm your 400–700m² typical (Hurstville/Kogarah/Beverly Hills/Penshurst/Mortdale/Carlton/Kingsgrove/Allawah); 600–1,200m² premium foreshore (Oatley/Lugarno/Peakhurst Heights/Connells Point) block meets Georges River Council's requirements for a secondary dwelling.
⏱60m² sounds tight on paper but designs well — high ceilings, good cross-ventilation, smart storage, and proper bedroom proportions make a 2-bed feel generous. We design for daily liveability, not just floor plan compliance.
⏱CDC fast-track through a private certifier — typically approved in 10–15 business days. Peakhurst is zoned R2 Low Density.
⏱Your granny flat is built from slab to keys in a single programme. Engineered slab for Class M soil, frame, lock-up, fit-out, painting, flooring, and external works.
⏱Defect-free inspection means we don't hand over a list to chase — every snag is fixed before keys move. Final clean, electrical and plumbing tested, smoke alarms certified, BASIX commissioning verified.
