Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Aug 04, 2010 2:47 pm Hi Guys, Just wondering if we would need council approval for a retaining wall 300mm high (to run along our boundary / neighbours boundary ) The reason we need it is to level our block. Oh and we are using panel and post. Any input would be appreciated Thanks Jaye Building in Darch 2010 (NOR PERTH) Land Titles Released 25/06/10 Land Settlement 14/07/10 Prestart Completed 17/08/10 Plans in Council 16/08/10 Building Licence Approved 22/09/10 Slab Poured 30/09/10 Bricking Started 14/10/10 Bricking Finished 26/10/10 Our Journey!! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36447 Our Blog Spot! http://joelnjayedarch.blogspot.com/ Re: Do we need council approval for a retaining wall?
