For people who do not have a garage on their property or are using it for some other reason than storing their cars, finding a viable place to park your car in is very important. It’s not recommended that you leave your car out under the open sky. The harsh Australian sun is going to cause serious damage to the paint job of your vehicle, and it won’t take more than two to three years for white lines to start showing on the exterior paint of the vehicle. Instead, you can hire a company that specialises in carports in Melbourne to get a carport installed.
Here are some of the benefits that you get for installing a carport.
1. Safety from Weather
The first major advantage that you get for installing a carport is that it prevents the weather from having an adverse effect on your vehicle. You don’t need to worry about any of the harmful atmospheric elements like rainfall, snow or hail. There’s a protective cover installed atop the car port that will prevent anything from falling directly onto the roof of your car. Even damage from the sun’s harmful rays will be prevented due to the shade. Keep in mind that carports aren’t enclosed from all sides.
2. Safety
Another reason why a carport is such a good choice is because it offers additional safety. Carports are often installed much closer to the front gate of the property. As a result, the walking distance from leaving your car and entering your house is reduced significantly. Rather than parking your car out on the street and then walking back, you can just park it close to your door and quickly walk into the house.
3. Storage for Two Vehicles
Some companies also offer carports in Melbourne that can accommodate two vehicles, as well.
4. Organisation
You can install a carport with walls around it so that you can also keep some of your other belongings in the car port.
5. Convenience
Carrying stuff into the house from your car is easier because the carports don’t have any doors or locks that you need to worry about!
The building regulations for the construction of carports vary state to state and may even differ council to council across Australia. As Melbourne’s carport specialists, Future Shade supply and install carports in line with regulatory conditions across the state of Victoria and nationwide. So if you’re considering an investment in your home in the shape of a carport, here’s a few guidelines to help you navigate that process.
Definition of a carport
The Building Code of Australia (BCA) has a carport classified as a Class 10a building and is defined as a structure built to house vehicles. The structure must be open on at least two sides and one third of the carport’s total perimeter.
Do all carports require a building permit?
It is prudent to assume that your carport of choice will require a permit. This assumption will potentially save you time and help manage your expectations as you begin the process.
Victoria
If you are building a carport in Melbourne under Schedule 8 of the Building Regulations 2006, a carport (as a Class 10a building) does not require a permit if:
It is not composed of masonry
The total floor area is less than 10m2
Is situated behind the front wall of the main residence
The height is less than 3m or 2.4m within 1m of the boundary of the property
Is attached to another building on the same property
New South Wales
Many minor home renovations including carports form part of an ‘exempt development’ and as long as the project meets specific development standards and land requirements, no planning or building approval is needed. We do recommend consulting with your local authority before building, particularly if your property is located in a foreshore area.
Tasmania
It is recommended that you contact your local council as carports built in Tasmania do require a permit.
Queensland
Where your property is located and zoned is a deciding factor in whether you need a building permit in Queensland. Generally speaking you will require building approval for a carport construction in Queensland.
South Australia
If your carport of choice meets requirements as laid out in the Residential Code, you will only require building approval and not planning assessment or consent. This approval usually takes up to 25 working days and can be sought from your local council or a private certifier.
Western Australia
In the state of Western Australia all carport structures require a Building License and Development Approval.
Northern Territory
Carports constructed in the Northern Territory will ‘usually’ require building approval. Approval may be sought via an NT registered Building Certifier or an approved Self-Certifying Manufacturer.
Building a carport is an investment in your home, enhancing the kerbside appeal of your property. Working within regulatory requirements and engineer’s specifications will ensure your investment stands up to potential scrutiny when you go to sell, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in future rebuilds.
