Frequently Asked Questions
Do all verandas require a permit?
Yes. In Victoria, any veranda attached to a dwelling or commercial structure requires a building permit — even if it’s small or prefabricated.
How is a veranda different from a pergola?
A veranda typically includes a solid roof and is connected to the home. Pergolas are open-structured and may not require a permit, depending on their size, roof coverage and placement.
How long does it take to get a veranda permit?
If we have all the documentation we need we issue the Permit within 24-48 hours. This applies to all Building Permits.
