Patios Bassendean

Bassendean Patio & Building Permit

Bassendean falls within the Town of Bassendean, which requires a building permit for most patio, pergola, carport, shade sail, and shed projects before work can begin. As a general guide, a permit is generally needed if the structure is attached to the home, exceeds 10m² in area or 2.4m in height, or involves posts, roofing, or other load-bearing elements — check the Town of Bassendean’s own guidance below to confirm your specific project.

Heritage Areas in Bassendean

Bassendean has five designated Heritage Areas — Kenny Street, Old Perth Road, Devon Road, Earlsferry, and Nurstead Avenue — governed by Local Planning Policy No. 4. Within these, carports and garages must generally be sited to the rear, can’t sit in the front setback, and need to visually match the heritage streetscape. The Earlsferry precinct has additional rules on materials and colours.
