Retaining Wall Council Approval
Are you looking to build a new fence or retaining wall? Then you might need council approval to obtain a permit to build.
Description: A retaining wall or limestone wall is a structure designed and manufactured to keep land at a slope steeper than can normally be sustained.
Retaining walls can be made out of a variety of things, these include bricks, limestone, timber, or post and panels.
Do I need approval:
It will be essential for a building permit to be required for all front fences and walls that are greater in height than 1m above the natural ground level and also required within the street setback area.
It will also be necessary for you to obtain a permit if the retaining wall is greater in height than 500mm or that encroach on a neighbours land.
It will also be necessary for you to obtain a permit if the retaining wall is greater in height than 500mm or that encroach on a neighbours land.
Retaining walls along boundaries will require a Building Permit regardless of height.
Patio and Shed Approvals specialise in the application process, including providing the site plan, elevations, and certified engineers as well. If you fail to obtain the necessary permit it is a huge mistake when it comes to selling your house.
