I'll be honest with you straight away: Wolli Creek is almost never a granny flat suburb, and it's worth saying why. It's a master-planned high-density precinct — apartment towers built from the 2000s on former industrial land at the Cooks River interchange. There are very few detached houses with backyards to add a second dwelling to.
If you own an apartment here, a granny flat simply isn't a thing that can happen — it's a strata unit in a tower, not a house on a block. The value in Wolli Creek is the apartment itself and its location on the T4/T8 interchange, not a secondary dwelling.
On the rare freestanding R2 block at the edges of the precinct it could be possible, but you'd still be dealing with the industrial-legacy contamination on remediated parcels, the alluvial soil, and a severe flight-path overlay — so the checks are heavy before anything gets promised.
If you've got one of those rare eligible blocks, I'll build it fixed-price with all of that sorted first. If you're in a tower, I'll tell you plainly it doesn't apply. Licence HBL 487805C.

Why it usually doesn't apply
Wolli Creek was built as apartments. A secondary dwelling needs a primary house on a lot with room behind it, and this precinct is towers on remediated industrial land — the ingredients mostly aren't here. I'd rather say that than dress it up.
If you own a unit, there's nothing to build a granny flat onto. Your asset is the apartment and its position on the interchange. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something that can't be delivered.
The rare exception, and what it takes
At the fringes of the precinct there's the occasional freestanding R2 block. On one of those it could be possible — but the site load is real: contamination management on a remediated parcel, alluvial and sandy ground that needs engineered footings, and a severe flight-path overlay driving heavy acoustic treatment.
If you've genuinely got one of those blocks, I'll assess it properly and build it fixed-price with every one of those checks done first. That's the only way it works here.

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 Wolli Creek 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 Wolli Creek'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.
