Albany’s south coast setting means sea winds, cooler wetter winters and strong weather coming off the Southern Ocean. A well-built patio gives you shelter and shade all year and a real extension of your living space.

Building permit: across Western Australia a freestanding patio of up to 10 m² and 2.4 m high generally does not need a building permit, but larger patios, taller ones and patios attached to a house do. Councils can set extra rules.
Planning approval: needed where the design does not meet the Residential Design Codes or the local planning policy, for example on setbacks or open space.

In Western Australia, most patios, pergolas, carports and similar structures need a building permit before work starts. In Albany, applications go to the City of Albany. 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 Albany building application. Call us for Albany patio design and installation.
