WHERE WE BUILD
From established Rockingham suburbs to the fast-growing estates of Baldivis and Secret Harbour, we build ancillary dwellings across the City of Rockingham and neighbouring areas.
Rockingham: Established lots — often generous block sizes well suited to a quality secondary dwelling.
Baldivis: WA's fastest-growing suburb — we check estate covenants before any commitment is made.
Secret Harbour: Coastal family living — ancillary dwellings designed to complement established streetscapes.
Port Kennedy: Established coastal suburb with good lot sizes for secondary dwelling builds.
Safety Bay: Quiet, family-oriented — ideal for a parent's retreat or returning adult child.
Waikiki: Close to the water and amenities — strong demand for multi-generational options.
Shoalwater: Relaxed coastal suburb — designs that respect the neighbourhood character.
Karnup: Semi-rural corridor between Rockingham and Mandurah — larger lots and more flexibility.
WHY ROCKINGHAM & BALDIVIS FAMILIES CHOOSE ANWEST
Rockingham and Baldivis are home to some of Perth's fastest-growing family communities. More people are choosing to build a second home on their existing property rather than uproot everyone.
Many newer Baldivis and Secret Harbour estates have restrictive covenants on secondary dwellings. We check your title and any registered encumbrances before you spend a dollar — so you know what's possible on your specific lot from day one.
Salt air, humidity and wind exposure are real factors in coastal southern suburbs. Our BlueScope steel frame, Colorbond roofing and CFC cladding system is engineered to perform in these conditions — low maintenance, long life.
We do a thorough site assessment before we quote. The price you receive is fixed — not a starting point for extras. Southern suburbs families deserve a builder they can trust.
OUR DESIGNS
Every ANWEST ancillary dwelling is built on a BlueScope steel frame with Colorbond roofing and CFC cladding — the right system for Perth's southern coastal climate.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A: Yes. The City of Rockingham permits ancillary dwellings on residentially zoned lots under the State R-Codes. Your primary dwelling must be owner-occupied and the ancillary dwelling must not exceed 60sqm of habitable floor area in most cases. ANWEST manages your Development Application as part of our service.
A: Possibly. Some newer estates have restrictive covenants that limit secondary dwellings for a set period after the original land sale. ANWEST checks your certificate of title and any registered encumbrances as part of the free initial site assessment. If your covenant period has expired, we proceed. If not, we'll advise you when you'll be eligible.
A: It can — particularly for materials prone to corrosion. Our build system uses BlueScope steel with appropriate corrosion protection for coastal zones, Colorbond roofing (specifically designed for coastal environments), and CFC cladding that doesn't corrode or rot. We specify materials to suit your location's coastal exposure category.
A: A 1-bedroom ancillary dwelling is typically 20 weeks from slab pour to handover. A 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom build runs approximately 24 weeks. DA approval and service connections are additional to the build timeline, all of which we factor into your project schedule from the outset.
A: No. Construction of an ancillary dwelling in your rear yard does not typically require you to vacate the primary dwelling. We stage our work to minimise disruption to your household, and we'll walk you through what to expect at each phase of the build.
