Greenaway Construction is a custom residential builder specialising in waterfront homes and renovations on St Huberts Island. We deliver bespoke designs tailored to canal-front blocks, managing unique site conditions and local compliance requirements.
St Huberts Island is a canal-based residential waterfront community set within Brisbane Water on the Central Coast of NSW. With around 1,062 people living across its network of man-made canals, the island offers canal-front blocks typically 18 to 20 metres wide. Building on St Huberts Island differs from standard suburban projects due to unique construction methods required for waterfront homes.
Greenaway Construction is a custom residential builder servicing St Huberts Island and surrounding Central Coast suburbs. Waterfront homes generally require unique construction methods due to environmental exposure, including flood planning levels, foreshore setbacks, seawall conditions, and limited street access for deliveries. This guide covers what you need to know before starting a new build, knockdown rebuild, or extension.
New custom waterfront homes with canal-facing living areas designed specifically for St Huberts Island blocks. Maximise views and orientation while managing unique site conditions and local compliance requirements.
Second-storey additions to capture Brisbane Water views above neighbouring rooflines. Extend your living space while maintaining property access and waterfront use.
Rear extensions with new alfresco areas opening to the canal. Create seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces tailored to your waterfront property.
Complete knockdown rebuilds of older canal-front homes. Replace 1970s and 1980s brick homes with contemporary two-storey designs optimised for modern living.
Greenaway Construction understands St Huberts Island’s specific development control plan, height limits, setbacks, and foreshore reserves. Our experience with local council controls anticipates logistical constraints before construction begins.
Knowledge of coastal and corrosive environments ensures high-quality material selection. We prioritise fibre cement cladding, aluminium windows, and marine-grade stainless steel fittings for durability in salt air.

St Huberts Island requires custom designs tailored to canal-front blocks rather than off-the-shelf project plans. Waterfront homes need unique construction methods managing flood planning, foreshore setbacks, seawall conditions, and limited street access. Custom builders maximise canal views, orientation, and water access while meeting strict local development control requirements.
Custom homes on the Central Coast in 2026 run roughly $3,000 to $4,500 per square metre before land, with coastal-grade materials and complexity pushing costs toward the upper range. Budget for site works, services upgrades, coastal-grade materials, professional fees, and contingencies for unexpected conditions.
Yes. Custom builders understand St Huberts Island’s planning requirements and site constraints essential for successful renovations.
