Erskine is close to the Peel-Harvey Estuary, so salt air and sea breezes shape the roofing, finishes and fixings we recommend.
My Patio designs, documents and builds patios in Erskine and nearby suburbs including Coodanup, Dudley Park and Falcon, and looks after the paperwork from the first sketch to the final inspection.
We build skillion patios, gable patios, flat roof patios, pergolas, gazebos and carports. Call 0420 361 450 for a free quote.
In Western Australia, most patios, pergolas, carports and similar structures need a building permit before work starts. In Erskine, applications go to the City of Mandurah. Your design also has to meet the planning rules for your lot, such as boundary setbacks and open space, and some structures need extra approvals, so it pays to check early.
My Patio designs and builds your new gable patio, skillion patio, flat roof patio, carport, pergola or gazebo, and prepares the drawings and documents for your City of Mandurah building application.
What counts: the City describes a patio or carport as having a waterproof roof, with two or more sides open and at least one third of its perimeter open.
Building permit: generally not needed for a free-standing patio under 10 m² and not above 2.4 m high that meets the setbacks. Above either limit, you need a building permit.
Planning approval: any variation to the Town Planning Scheme, the Residential Design Codes or a local planning policy needs development approval first, which must be granted before the building application is decided.
Application documents: a site plan (minimum 1:200), floor plan, section and elevations (minimum 1:100), construction and footing details, and connection details to any existing structure.
