Granny Flat in Hunters Hill — what it actually takes in 2026
Granny flats in Hunters Hill deliver yields $750–$1,100/week typical, with $900–$1,300/week on river-fall Woolwich, Henley, Huntleys Point, Hunters Hill peninsula lots. Block sizes 600–2,000m² generally accommodate compliant siting on paper, but municipal heritage listing and individual heritage items restrict placement, materials and form on virtually every lot. Foreshore Building Line restricts siting on Parramatta River and Lane Cove River frontage. Sandstone soil; suspended slabs and substantial retaining on river-fall lots add $35K–$80K. Tree Preservation Order strict — AS4970 root-zone protection plans routine. CDC effectively unavailable given heritage prevalence; full DA standard. Realistic build cost $290K–$480K for premium 60m² with heritage-sympathetic detailing and sandstone engineering.
