Before you build
Council Guide
Building and compliance requirements for carports and shade structures vary between local councils across Australia. You are responsible for confirming all applicable regulations with your council prior to purchase.
Our carports are portable, bolt-together steel structures - many councils treat these differently to permanent buildings. Check with your local council to understand what applies to you.
Portable or temporary shade structures may be exempt from planning permits in some areas - check with your council.
