The general requirements for a suitable block to build a granny flat are:
- Maximum floor area 60m2
- Blocks 450m2 or greater
- Land zoned residential
- 3m rear set back from property boundary (for blocks 900m2 & under)
Read our guides on Central Coast Granny Flats and Newcastle Granny Flats.
No! The government is encouraging the construction of granny flats in most areas via Complying Development Applications.
Under Complying Development, approvals can be obtained as quickly as ten working days (if your property meets the criteria for Complying Development).
If your property is unsuitable for Complying Development then a Development Application can be lodged with your local council.
In most cases, yes. However, purchasing an up-to-date Section 149 (versions 2 & 5) Planning Certificate from your local council is best. This will confirm whether or not there are any specific restrictions on your block that may prevent you from building a granny flat.
P J Cook Building can also happily arrange for a Section 149 (versions 2 & 5) on your behalf for a fee of only $133.
No, there are no fees for the first site inspection. Call P J Cook Building to arrange a time, and we will meet you on-site to examine your block’s suitability and complete a site measure of your chosen design, all free of charge. During the inspection, we will discuss:
- Which of our standard designs best suits your site
- Your lifestyle requirements
- Your wish list
- Budget and feasibility
- Land and slope
- Solar orientation
- Views
- Privacy
- Site restrictions
A comprehensive site inspection allows us to understand your block before providing a detailed tender. We also offer remote site assessments if necessary; however, our preference is to meet on-site in person. This ensures we fully understand your block, and you know who you are dealing with before entering into any agreements. For more information, please contact us.
No. Our design team can customise one of our standard designs to suit your own personal requirements and budget.
Alternatively, you can choose from our large range of standard, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom designs and 3-bedroom designs. We have a large variety of designs, so you are destined to find a suitable design that works for you, your budget & your backyard. If you cant find a design let us design one for you.
All of our granny flats, new homes, duplexes, and dual occupancy projects are built on-site. We do not build kit or transportable homes. By constructing on-site, we ensure that each project meets the highest quality standards and complies with local regulations. This method allows us to deliver durable and customized solutions tailored to our clients’ needs. For more information on our building process and services, please contact us.
As a guide, once the slab is poured onsite, the construction process for a single-storey granny flat can take 15-18 weeks to complete. See our guides to building a Granny Flat on the Central Coast, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter Region.
Yes. Providing the laneway to your property is at least 3m wide, and the dimensions of your lot (excluding the area for the laneway) are at least 12m x 12m. Please contact our team to discuss.
If your block and granny flat design meet the relevant criteria outlined in the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP), a private certifier can approve the plans on behalf of the Council within just 10 working days of lodgement. This streamlined process allows for faster approvals compared to traditional development applications, making it easier and quicker to start your building project. At P J Cook Building, we ensure that our designs can comply with these criteria, facilitating a smooth and efficient approval process for our clients. For more information, please contact us.
The maximum size of a granny flat is 60 square metres, excluding carports, patio, alfresco areas, etc. Check out our Granny Flat Designs for more information.
Yes. Most granny flats and homes are built on a slab on the ground. However, if your block is in a flood-affected area or your land contours are slopey, we may suggest building on piers. This decision is dependent on your site conditions.
Yes, you can select brick veneer for your granny flat. Please note that brick veneer comes with an additional cost. Additionally, choosing brick veneer will reduce the interior floor space by approximately 3-4 square meters, as the overall area is measured from the outside of the building. For more details on the implications and benefits of using brick veneer, please contact us.
No. The P J Cook Building team handle the entire process from design to handover.
No, but ideally, you could send us the following documents so that we can confidently provide you with the correct information & design ideas.

- Contour survey to AHD level.
- Any council existing sewer diagrams or any other relevant information.
