Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale
In Western Australia, most patios, pergolas, carports, sheds and similar structures need a building permit before work starts. In Serpentine, applications go to the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. Large structures often need planning approval and have to meet setback rules for your lot. My Patio designs and builds your large patio, farm shelter or steel shed, and prepares the drawings and documents for your Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale building application.

Building in Serpentine: what the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale requires
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.
Large and rural structures: large patios, farm equipment shelters and sheds are usually well over the 10 m² exemption, so plan on a building permit. Rural lots can also carry extra rules on setbacks, building envelopes and water bodies, so we check what applies to your lot before we quote.
