Planning your outdoor reno
Outdoor renovation questions for the Illawarra homeowners
Do I need council approval for a carport, patio, deck or verandah?
Some projects qualify as exempt development only when all relevant NSW standards and property requirements are met. Others need a complying development certificate (CDC) or development application (DA). Check your design and address with council or a qualified certifier before work starts.
NSW planning approval pathwaysHow much will my outdoor renovation cost?
There is no reliable one-size-fits-all price. Dimensions, materials, access, footings, drainage and approvals affect the quote. Ask for an itemised written quote that explains inclusions, exclusions, any GST and who is responsible for approvals. Compare quotes based on the same project brief.
NSW guidance on getting quotesHow do I check a NSW builder's licence?
Search the contractor's name or licence number through Service NSW. Check the licence is current, matches the business you are engaging and covers the proposed work. Ask for the relevant insurance details as well; a general claim of being insured does not explain the cover.
Check a builder or tradesperson licenceWhat should I consider for a home near the coast?
Salt air and humidity can accelerate corrosion. Ask about the specified roofing, coatings and fixings for your property's exposure, and follow the selected products' cleaning and inspection guidance. Timber and composite decks also need care; low maintenance does not mean maintenance-free.
NSW guidance on corrosion protectionWhat information should I include when requesting a quote?
Include your suburb, the type of work, approximate measurements in metres, your preferred materials and timing. Mention a sloping block, narrow side access, an existing deck or roof, and any known flood, bushfire or heritage constraints. For a caravan or ute, include its height and the space needed to manoeuvre.
