Council Requirements for Easycarport Shelters
While most councils in Australia allow carports up to 10 square meters without requiring permission, However, we recommend checking your local council’s requirements.
To obtain council approval for your carport you will need to contact your local area council. To make things easier, we’ve provided helpful links to council websites based on your state below:
