What was approved

Seven permits were patios and four were carports. Estimated values ranged from about $7,900 to $28,600, with half falling between about $9,700 and $15,400. Sheds, pools, garage alterations and dwelling work were left out.

Where

South Bunbury led with 4 of the 11 permits. Bunbury, College Grove and East Bunbury had 2 each, and Withers had 1.

Owner-builders and contractors

Two permits (18%) were listed under a private individual, whose name the council redacts in its published register; we count these as owner-builder. The other nine were built by four businesses, and the busiest, Cannon Improvements, handled 4 of the 11 permits (about 36%). Bunbury has several local patio specialists and two store networks, so homeowners have choice. With only one month and 11 permits this is a snapshot, but it contrasts with Karratha, where 44% of patio permits were owner-builder.

Method. We read the City of Bunbury published building approvals for September 2026 (43 applications) and kept residential patio-type permits (patios, carports, verandahs, pergolas, shade structures and alfresco jobs). New homes, sheds, pools, garage alterations, 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. The register is a scanned document and redacts the names of private individuals; those permits are counted as owner-builder.
