Frequently Asked Questions

IS COUNCIL APPROVAL REQUIRED

We recommend contacting your local council for regulations and compliance within your area.

Whether you need council approval for your Cantilever depends on several factors such as:

  • The size and height of the structure
  • Location on your property
  • Local council regulations
 

In general a Cantilever with an open slat roof can be installed within 400mm from the fence line.

Please refer to general guidelines for each state:

In New South Wales (NSW), whether you need council approval for a pergola depends on several factors, including its size, location, and the zoning of your property. Here’s a breakdown of the key guidelines:

Exempt Development

  • A pergola may be classified as exempt development, meaning you do not need approval if it meets certain criteria under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 (SEPP).
  • To qualify as exempt development, the pergola must:
  • Have a maximum height of 3m.
  • Be located behind the building line of any road frontage.
  • Be no larger than 20 square meters.
  • Have a roof that is open-style (e.g., lattice, open timber slats).
  • Be at least 900mm from any boundary.
  • Be not attached to a balcony, deck, or roof terrace.

If these criteria are met, no council approval is required.

Before building a pergola in NSW, it’s a good idea to:

  1. Review the NSW SEPP guidelines.
  2. Check with a private certifier or your local council.
  3. If necessary, lodge a Development Application to ensure you meet all local regulations

In Queensland (QLD), Australia, whether you need council approval for a pergola depends on several factors, including the size of the structure, its location, and the specific council’s requirements. Here’s an overview:

     Size and Height Exemptions

   – No approval is required if the pergola:

     – Is less than 3 meters in height.

     – Has a maximum roof area of 10 square meters.

     – Is located at least 900mm away from boundaries.

   – The pergola must also not impact the structural safety of existing buildings.

It’s always best to consult with your local council or a building certifier before starting any construction work.

In Western Australia (WA), the need for council approval for a pergola depends on factors like its size, location, and the specific council regulations. Here’s a breakdown of the general guidelines:

    Exempt Development (No Approval Required)

   A pergola may not require council approval if it meets certain conditions:

   – The height of the pergola is no more than 2.4 meters.

   – The pergola is unroofed and designed to be open (e.g., open timber slats, lattice).

   – It is located at least 900mm from any boundary.

   – The pergola is for a residential property and does not cover more than 20 square meters.

   – It is not enclosed by walls or roofing materials.

   If the pergola meets these criteria, it may fall under exempt development, meaning no building or planning approvals are necessary.

Before building a pergola in WA, it’s a good idea to:

  1. Check if your pergola meets the criteria for exempt development.
  2. Contact your local council to verify whether you need a building permit or planning approval.
  3. Consider hiring a private certifier if applicable.

In Tasmania (TAS), the need for council approval for a pergola depends on several factors, including its size, height, location, and local council regulations. Here’s an overview of the general requirements:

     Exempt Development (No Approval Required)

     – The maximum height of the pergola is 3 meters.

     – The pergola covers an area of less than 20 square meters.

     – It is located behind the primary street frontage (not in front of the house).

     – It is open and unroofed (e.g., lattice or open timber slats).

     – The pergola is not enclosed and has no walls.

   If the structure meets these criteria, it generally does not require a building or planning permit.

Before building a pergola in Tasmania, it’s important to:

  1. Check if your pergola qualifies as exempt development.
  2. If necessary, apply for a building permit if your pergola is larger or more complex.
  3. Consult with your local council for any required planning permits, especially if you’re in a heritage or bushfire-prone area.
  4. Consider hiring a private certifier to streamline the approval process.

We advise you check with your local council before starting construction to ensure you comply with all local laws and regulations.

In the Northern Territory (NT), Australia, whether or not you need council approval to build a pergola depends on the size, location, and local government regulations. Here are some guidelines:

  1. **Permitted Development**: In many areas, smaller structures like pergolas may not require council approval, provided they meet certain criteria such as height limits, distance from boundaries, and total size.
  1. **Building Permit**: Even if planning approval is not required, a building permit may still be necessary, especially if the pergola is attached to a house or exceeds a certain size.
  2. **Zoning and Restrictions**: Some councils may have specific rules based on the zoning of your property. It’s important to check if your land is within a heritage zone or if there are special restrictions in your area.
  1. **Safety and Structural Integrity**: If the pergola is considered a major structure, it will likely need approval to ensure it meets safety and building standards.

For accurate advice, it is best to contact your local council in the NT (such as the Darwin City Council or Alice Springs Town Council) or consult the **Northern Territory Government’s Development Consent Authority** to get specific guidelines based on your location and project details
