In most circumstances, a planning permit is not required.
A planning permit is not required for an open-sided pergola or veranda if:
- The structure has a finished floor level not more than 800mm above ground level and a maximum height of three metres above ground level; or
- The land is residentially zoned and has an area of more than 300m2
If the land has an overlay, you may need a planning permit.
