Building a Deck
You need a building permit to build a deck if:
- it will be two feet or more above the ground
- your deck will be covered by a permanent roof
We've prepared guides as a starting point to assist with the permit application process:
Detached Deck - Greater Than 1.8m (6ft) High
Detached Deck - Less Than 1.8m (6ft) High
These guides outline the required drawings and documents needed to kickstart your project, along with some helpful hints. These are the minimum requirements for your deck permit application.
Once you've gathered the required items, submit your application through Pronto.
