Yes, retaining walls usually require approval if they are over 1 metre high, located near a boundary, or support a structure above. For anything under 1 metre and not load-bearing, approval may not be needed. We assess each project and help manage approvals where required.
Decks may require council approval if they are over 1 metre high, larger than 10m², or attached to a dwelling. Low-profile decks under 1 metre and under 10m² in area may be exempt. We’ll advise you based on your specific design and property.
