Acrow Investments are a family-run business, who are experts in building granny flats in the regional capital of Newcastle. Just 160km north of Sydney on a fast and flowing freeway and with a population of approximately 500,000, Newcastle is Australia’s 7th largest city and boasts a regional economy worth $16.985 billion per year.
The city also offers a diverse natural environment, from beaches to bushland, while also being regarded as the economic and trade hub of the region. The port of Newcastle is Australia’s oldest and third largest, with coal representing more than 90% of its total tonnage.

Kathy & Chris
“After researching a number of granny flat builders on the Central Coast and Newcastle, Acrow Investments were flexible with our requests and were able to negotiate professionally about inclusions and price. Being from Sydney we wanted the construction process to be quick and easy as we were unable to travel to the Central Coast often.”
Jo
“I would highly recommend the Acrow team, who have been professional, easy to deal with and offered help throughout the whole process above and beyond just building a Granny Flat. Thanks to Kurt and all the team.”
Georges
“Very professional team, delivered on time and on budget, which is a rarity in the building industry. It took approximately 3 months from start to finish to build the granny flat under difficult circumstances. They only use quality appliances and materials. Highly recommended, I will definitely use Acrow again as it is a company you can trust.”

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.

How much does it cost to build a granny flat in the Newcastle area?
Building our standard two-bedroom granny flat with premium-quality inclusions in the Newcastle area starts from $99,000 (inc. GST). However, additional costs – such as council approval fees, land preparation and external works – will vary depending on your suburb, size of block and site conditions. We’re happy to arrange your free site inspection and no-obligation quote.
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. If you plan to arrange finance, a standard interest-only mortgage repayment will return a gross profit that averages around $250 to $300 per week. To equip you for your finance application, we’ll inspect your site, provide an obligation-free quote and prepare a rental return report – all at no cost to you.
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.
