Why invest in Newcastle?
There are several factors that make Newcastle an extremely appealing area to invest in. Despite Australia’s record-breaking property downturn in 2018, Newcastle sailed through unscathed – recording solid growth.
According to the QBE Australian Housing Outlook 2018-2021, property prices have grown 7.6% per annum on average over the past five years. Rental properties in particular are booming, with Newcastle giving some of the country’s biggest returns on investment last year.
As professionals continue to migrate from Sydney, enticed by the natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle, they have powered a 27% increase in approvals of new dwellings from 2017-18. The The City of Newcastle LGA (pop. 155,000 and not to be confused with the larger Newcastle area) also offers many employment opportunities – approximately 73,029 people work there, and unemployment has been continually falling over the past several years.

What is the average rental return of a granny flat in Newcastle?
With an average weekly rent of $400 to $500, adding a granny flat to your Newcastle property is an excellent investment.

Do I need planning permission to build a granny flat in the Newcastle area?
No. As covered under the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP), building a granny flat in the Newcastle area doesn’t require council approval or planning permission. However, there are general NSW zoning rules and articles of state legislation governing the front and rear setback requirements that your new granny flat build must satisfy. As trusted local builders with almost 20 years experience in the Newcastle area, we are across all the rules. Give us a call to discuss your project.
