Thinking of subdividing your Perth block? Here’s how the process works:

Subdividing can unlock real value from your land, but in WA it follows a set path. Here’s the overview:

1️⃣ Check feasibility
Start with your lot’s zoning and R-Code density under your council’s planning scheme. Lot size, frontage, sewer access, easements and existing structures all determine whether a split is possible.

2️⃣ Engage a licensed surveyor
Your surveyor prepares the subdivision plan and helps you choose between green title and survey strata.

3️⃣ Apply to the WAPC
The Western Australian Planning Commission assesses the application and consults your local council and service providers before issuing conditional approval.

4️⃣ Meet the conditions
This usually involves separate water, sewer and power connections, crossovers, and any demolition or retaining work required.

5️⃣ Clearances and new titles
Once the agencies sign off, the WAPC endorses the final plan and Landgate issues your new titles.

Good to know: The whole process often takes 12 months or more, so plan ahead. We can manage the entire process for you.

Not ready to subdivide? A granny flat or ancillary dwelling can add living space, rental income or room for family without splitting your title. At ANWEST Lifestyle, we design and build fully custom ancillary dwellings across Perth, and we can help you work out the best option for your block.

Perth investors: could a granny flat make your rental work harder?

For many investment properties, the backyard is the most under-used asset on the title.

A custom granny flat adds a second rental income from the same block. Depending on build cost, finance and rent achieved, that extra income can help close the gap on a negatively geared property, and in some cases tip it into positive cash flow.

Why investors are adding a second dwelling:
• A second weekly rent from land you already own
• No need to buy another block to grow your portfolio
• A permanent, quality dwelling that adds to the property
• Two homes designed to lease separately, with their own access, privacy and outdoor space

In WA, a granny flat can be leased to a tenant unrelated to the main house, so more investment properties have real potential than owners realise.

At ANWEST Lifestyle, every granny flat is custom designed around your block, your budget and your investment goals, not squeezed into a standard plan.

Adding a second dwelling to your property can be about much more than simply creating extra space.

For some families, it means giving parents or adult children a beautiful, private home while keeping everyone close.

For property investors, it can mean making better use of an existing block and creating an additional rental income stream, without necessarily needing to purchase another property.

At ANWEST Lifestyle, we design and build custom secondary dwellings onsite, tailored to the property, the people who will live there and what you want the investment to achieve.

- Family living, create independence while staying connected
- Investment, unlock more potential from an existing property
- Future flexibility, family today, rental income tomorrow
- Custom designed, not a one-size-fits-all modular solution

With thoughtful design, a second dwelling can feel like a genuine home, not something simply added to the backyard.

An enjoyable and exciting project in a new estate in Bushmead coming together

Building in the Hills isn't the same as building on a flat suburban block.
Slope. Granite. Bushfire ratings. Septic instead of scheme sewer. A driveway that a concrete truck has opinions about.
For a lot of builders, that list is a reason to quote high or walk away. For us it's just Tuesday.
We build ancillary dwellings right across Kalamunda, Mundaring, Roleystone, Gooseberry Hill, Lesmurdie, Carmel, Darlington and Glen Forrest — and every one of those areas has its own quirks. Middle Helena catchment rules in Gooseberry Hill. Heritage character in Darlington. Elevated BAL zones and granite outcrops through Roleystone.
Our steel frame and Colorbond system is genuinely well suited to bushfire-rated builds, which often means BAL compliance costs less than it would in brick and tile. Slope gets assessed on the first site visit and priced into the fixed contract — no surprise variations later for conditions we already knew about.
If your block is in the Hills, we know what it's going to throw at us.

Currently working on a Backyard transformation for a client wanting to create a Wellness Studio in their backyard that could one day convert to a studio dwelling. With the right design and planning from the outset we can create a base structure that can suit both objectives, with just a few changes down the track to convert the flow from integrated with pool for the wellness studio to integrated with the garden for studio.

Thinking about building a granny flat or sub-dividing?

I recently sat down with Michael from That Backyard Property Podcast for an in-depth conversation about what homeowners in WA actually need to know before they build.

We discuss:

- The new WA planning changes
- Who granny flats are really suited for
- Rental income opportunities
- Common mistakes people make
- Custom-built vs modular

If you're considering unlocking the potential in your backyard, I think you'll find plenty of practical advice.
