Suburb snapshot
Clyde North At A Glance
Clyde North (postcode 3978) is a suburb in the City of Casey, about 46 km south-east of Melbourne's CBD, and one of Melbourne's fastest-growing suburbs. Most of it is new estates, including Berwick Waters, Cascades on Clyde, St Germain and Selandra Rise, with shopping at Selandra Rise and The Avenue Village.
It is a young, family suburb: big households, big homes and lots of kids. That is why so many owners here ask us about a second, self-contained home in the backyard.

Council and estate rules · City of Casey
Granny Flat Rules In Clyde North
Two sets of rules apply in Clyde North: Victoria's small second dwelling rules, and the rules of your estate. Here they are in plain English.
- Planning permit
- Usually not needed for a granny flat of up to 80 m² on a lot of 300 m² or more, where no overlay or special control applies.
- Lots under 300 m²
- A planning permit is needed from the City of Casey.
- Building permit
- Always needed. We arrange it, and it's included in our price.
- Estate rules (MCP) and covenants
- Newer estates often have a Memorandum of Common Provisions or a Section 173 agreement on title: a building envelope, setbacks and, for some years, the developer's design approval. We read yours before you commit.
- Overlays and easements
- A flood, bushfire or other overlay switches off the no-permit path, and easements limit where the flat can sit. Check your lot on VicPlan, or we check it for you.
- Other rules
- No extra car park is needed. The granny flat can't connect to mains gas, needs a path from the street, and can't be subdivided or sold separately.

Granny Flats In Clyde North: Your Questions
What Clyde North homeowners ask us most. Still unsure? Ask a Sales Consultant.
Updated 7 October 2026
Do I Need A Planning Permit For A Granny Flat In Clyde North?
Usually not. A granny flat of up to 80 m² on a lot of 300 m² or more, with no overlay or special control, doesn't need a planning permit under Victoria's small second dwelling rules. Lots under 300 m² need a planning permit from the City of Casey. A building permit is always needed, and we arrange it. Your estate's design rules can also apply, so we check your title at the free site inspection. Our guide explains when a granny flat needs a planning permit, including overlays, covenants and Section 173 agreements.
How Big Can A Granny Flat Be In Clyde North?
Up to 80 m² without a planning permit since 15 October 2026 (it was 60 m²), measured to the outside of the walls. Attached decks and verandahs no longer count. The Building Regulations still say 60 m² until they're updated. Our designs are 40 m² with one bedroom, or 60 m² with two or three bedrooms, so every design sits within both limits.
How Much Does A Granny Flat Cost In Clyde North?
Our fixed prices start from $154,990* for one bedroom, $169,900* for two bedrooms, $179,900* for two bedrooms with two bathrooms and $184,900* for three bedrooms. Site costs are fixed in writing after the free site inspection.
What's Included In The Price?
Plans, engineering and energy report, the building permit, service connections up to 12 m and our Signature Inclusions. Additional site costs, council and authority fees, and variations are extra. Your Sales Consultant confirms a site-specific, fixed-price quote after the free site inspection.
Can I Build A Granny Flat On A Lot Under 300 m² In Clyde North?
Yes, with a planning permit from the City of Casey. We check your lot size, title and overlays first, then tell you which designs fit and what the permit involves.
Can I Build A Granny Flat In A New Clyde North Estate?
In most cases, yes. Many Clyde North estates have design guidelines (an MCP) or a Section 173 agreement with a building envelope and, for some years, the developer's design approval. We read your estate's rules and title, then show you which designs fit and where they can sit. Read more about estate rules and Section 173 agreements.
Can I Rent Out A Granny Flat In Clyde North?
Yes. Since December 2023, Victoria lets you rent a granny flat to anyone, not just family. It stays on the same title as your house and can't be subdivided or sold separately.
Does A Granny Flat In Clyde North Need Its Own Car Park Or Gas?
No extra car park is needed. A small second dwelling can't connect to mains gas, so it's all-electric, and it needs a path from the street.
How Long Does It Take To Build A Granny Flat?
10 to 12 weeks on site, from slab pour to practical completion. Before that, allow time for drawings and the building permit, plus a planning permit if your block needs one.
