Bendigo’s strong sense of community and rich heritage make it a place where families want to stay connected. An Elpor granny flat is a simple way to expand your household — a self-contained one or two bedroom home in your own backyard, with its own kitchen, bathroom and open-plan living area.
Our granny flats are prefabricated at our Carrum Downs factory, transported to your Bendigo block and assembled on site by our own team. You get the cost and speed of factory construction without having to organise a build. Typical lead time is 6 to 8 weeks, and on-site installation is usually finished in under two weeks.
Every unit is made for regional conditions. Durable ColorBond exteriors, insulated panel systems and a 7-star energy rating keep them comfortable through Bendigo’s hot summers and cold winter nights, with very little maintenance.
We have been building granny flats since 1985 and have completed more than 1,000 of them across Victoria. A building permit is required for every granny flat in Victoria, and we handle it as part of every build.
Your granny flat is built in sections at our Carrum Downs factory, delivered to your Bendigo block and assembled by our own team. Typical lead time is 6 to 8 weeks, with on-site installation usually complete in under two weeks.
With durable ColorBond exteriors, insulated panel systems and a 7-star energy rating, our granny flats stay cool through Bendigo’s hot summers and warm during crisp winter nights — with very little upkeep.
In Victoria a building permit is required for every granny flat, and we take care of it on every build. Most small second dwellings of 60m² or less no longer need a planning permit, though lots under 300m² and sites affected by heritage, bushfire or flooding overlays can be treated differently. The City of Greater Bendigo sets out the detail, or ask us and we will check your block before you commit.
Depending on who you ask, these are kit homes, relocatable homes, transportable homes or portable homes. A kit home usually means a flat pack you assemble yourself — with Elpor, the assembly is ours. See our granny flat kits and flat packs.
We deliver to every Bendigo suburb and right across Victoria — Strathdale, Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk, Epsom, Golden Square, Maiden Gully, Junortoun, Strathfieldsaye and White Hills, along with Heathcote, Castlemaine and the smaller towns around Bendigo.
Your granny flat arrives as prefabricated panels rather than as a finished building on the back of a truck, and that difference decides what your site needs. The panels are carried in by hand, so we only need around a metre of side gate access. We can work through a garage or a carport as long as there is a gateway to walk through. In most cases that means no crane, no road closure, and no taking down fences to get in.
It also means a tight block, a narrow driveway or a neighbour close on the boundary is rarely the obstacle people expect it to be. If your site is steep, heavily built out or hard to reach, tell us early — we assess access, slope and soil at the site inspection, and anything that affects the quote is settled before you commit rather than after.
Once the panels are on site our own team assembles the unit and connects it to services. On-site installation is usually finished in under two weeks, and typical lead time from order is 6 to 8 weeks.
Thinking about a second dwelling as an investment rather than family accommodation? A small second home can be rented out under Victoria’s rules, and our small second dwellings are designed for exactly that.
In most cases, no. Under Victoria’s small second dwelling rules, a self-contained second home of 60m² or less on a lot that already has a house on it generally does not need a planning permit. A building permit is always required, and we handle that as part of every build. Blocks under 300m², and sites affected by heritage, bushfire or flooding overlays, can be treated differently — the City of Greater Bendigo can confirm, or ask us and we will look into it for you.
Typical lead time is 6 to 8 weeks. Because your granny flat is prefabricated at our Carrum Downs factory, the disruption at your place is short — on-site installation is usually finished in under two weeks.
Yes. Under Victoria’s small second dwelling rules, anyone can live in or rent out a small second home — a family member, a dependent person, or an unrelated tenant.
Yes. We deliver across the whole of Victoria, so Heathcote, Castlemaine, Elmore, Axedale and the smaller towns around Bendigo are all covered, along with every Bendigo suburb.
Your granny flat arrives in prefabricated sections on a truck, so we need clear access to the site. Most standard suburban blocks are fine. If access is tight, sloping or built out, tell us early — we assess it at the site inspection and work out the approach before anything is booked.
Every Elpor granny flat is fully self-contained, with its own kitchen, bathroom and open-plan living area. Double glazed windows, Westinghouse cooking appliances and a Rinnai reverse cycle split system are standard, along with connection to essential services.
