Carports accounted for 6 and shade sails for a handful more. Half of all jobs were valued between roughly $9,000 and $18,800, and the largest was about $69,000.

Method. We read the City of Wanneroo published building approvals for August 2026 and kept residential patio-type permits (patios, carports, verandahs, pergolas, shade structures and alfresco jobs). New homes, pools, ancillary dwellings and commercial work were excluded. Values are the estimated values listed in the register. Medians are used because a few large jobs distort averages.
