We’re proud to be a Sponsor of Future of Housing, an event that’s not just about the problems but about delivering real, measurable outcomes for our region

Hosted by Business Illawarra on Friday 20 February 2026 at the City Beach Function Centre, this summit brings together government, industry, and community leaders to talk honestly about housing — what’s working, what’s not, and where we go from here.


Why We're Behind It


At Wollongong Granny Flats, we see the housing story up close — families making space for loved ones, homeowners unlocking value, and people choosing to live more affordably without leaving the communities they care about.


We believe that smarter housing starts with smarter thinking, and better outcomes begin with quality you can trust. Because great design means nothing without great build quality. That’s what gives people confidence, and that’s what lasts.


Locally Built. Smart Design. Built to Last.


This summit speaks to everything we believe in at Wollongong Granny Flats

Housing should make sense for the way people live — not just look good on a plan. That means smarter use of land, flexible designs, and local delivery that responds to real needs — not just city-sized budgets.


Future of Housing puts the spotlight on the big issues: cost versus value, business viability versus community need, outdated models versus new ways of living. These are conversations we’re already having every day with our clients — and they’re the same challenges we’re working to solve. From day one, we’ve focused on practical, well-built housing that helps people stay close to family, generate income, or simply make the most of their block.

Backed by the Illawarra First Housing Report, the summit is about moving from talk to action. And we’re proud to be part of that shift — helping remove barriers, challenge the old thinking, and deliver smarter housing for our region.



What to Expect


The summit will feature keynote speaker Jamie Durie, alongside The Hon. Paul Scully MP and The Hon. Rose Jackson MLC, who will share insights on how we can improve housing outcomes across the Illawarra.


They’ll explore topics like innovation, planning reform, and the practical steps needed to make housing more accessible, sustainable and better suited to regional communities.

Why It Matters to Us


We’re not just builders — we’re part of this community

Our work is about more than granny flats. It’s about helping people stay close to family, make smarter use of what they already have, and live with more freedom and security without compromising on quality, independence or connection.


From the ground up, we stand by our workmanship because when you invest in a granny flat, you deserve a space that feels good, functions well, and holds its value over time. That’s what we bring to every home, and it’s why we’re proud to stand behind this summit.


Let’s Build What Comes Next


Because better housing doesn’t just support individuals. It supports jobs, growth, and the well-being of our entire region.


Getting housing right takes all of us — and we’re ready to play our part.
