Renovations In Brisbane Northside

(07) 3522 3334Northside Projects, One Team
At A Grade Renovations and Construction, we work with homeowners across Brisbane Northside, from the character streets of Kedron, Wavell Heights and Nundah through to Chermside, Aspley and the bayside around Sandgate. Northside homes give us a wide spread of work: highset brick homes from the 1960s and 70s where the space underneath is begging to be used, post-war timber homes that need a whole-house rethink, and family blocks with room for a granny flat out the back. Our team manages each project from consult and design through to quoting and construction, so you deal with one point of contact instead of juggling separate trades.
Murarrie is a straightforward run up the Gateway, so we stay hands-on throughout the build. Call (07) 3522 3334 to talk through your plans.

What We Take On Here
Services In Brisbane Northside
Whole House Renovations In Brisbane Northside
Post-war northside homes often need more than one room updated — kitchens, bathrooms, wiring and layout all date from the same era. A whole-house renovation lets us sequence that work once, rather than disturbing the home year after year. We plan which parts of the house stay livable during each stage, and resolve structural changes such as removing walls before finishes are chosen.
Home Extensions In Brisbane Northside
Highset homes in Aspley and Bracken Ridge are well suited to building in underneath, which can add bedrooms or a rumpus room without touching the yard. Where that is not possible, a rear extension may be the better fit. We weigh ceiling heights, flood mapping and how the new space connects to the existing living areas before recommending a direction.
Granny Flats In Brisbane Northside
Larger family blocks in Stafford, Everton Park and Geebung often have room for a self-contained granny flat for parents, adult children or guests. Position, access from the street and the relationship to the main house all matter, and so does the approval pathway for a secondary dwelling. We work through those questions with you before design begins.

Local Knowledge
Approvals On The Northside
Council: Brisbane City Council
Like the Southside, Brisbane Northside is part of Brisbane City Council rather than a separate council, and the same Brisbane City Plan 2014 applies. What changes is the local mapping: pockets along Kedron Brook and Cabbage Tree Creek carry flood overlays, homes around Sandgate and Shorncliffe can be affected by coastal hazard mapping, and many older streets sit within a traditional building character overlay. Those overlays can determine whether planning approval is needed — for example to build in under a highset home or add a secondary dwelling. Building approval is assessed separately, typically by a private certifier. We review your address before design, but always confirm requirements for your property with council or a certifier.

Brisbane Northside FAQs
- Can I build in under my highset house on the northside?
- In many cases, yes. Ceiling height, existing stumps and any flood or character overlays on the property affect what is possible and whether planning approval is needed. An on-site assessment and a check of the overlay mapping are the usual starting points.
- Does flood mapping affect renovations near Kedron Brook?
- It can. Flood overlays may set minimum floor levels or limit enclosing the space under a house. The effect depends on where your property sits within the mapped area, so it is worth checking council's flood information early in planning.
- Do granny flats on Brisbane's northside need approval?
- A granny flat is generally treated as a secondary dwelling and needs building approval at minimum. Whether planning approval is also required depends on its size, siting and the zoning and overlays on your lot.
