Browns Plains · Logan City Council

Your carport in Browns Plains, start to finish

Browns Plains, Regents Park and Heritage Park are full of 1980s and 90s lowset brick homes with a single garage and a driveway out the front. A double carport beside or in front of that garage is one of our most common Logan jobs.

We check your frontage against Logan's front setback rules, then design a carport that fits and lasts.

Local knowledge

What's different about building in Browns Plains

Next to the garage
A carport beside the garage roof, tied in neatly, gives you covered parking for two more cars.
Front setback
Logan allows carports forward of the house in many cases. We design to its conditions.
Gable to match
A gable carport can match the pitch of the house for a cleaner look from the street.

Step 1 · pick a style

Which carport suits your home?

Attached

Fixed to the fascia or a wall of your home. The most common and the best value.

Flyover

Raised above your gutter for extra height, air flow and a modern look.

Freestanding

Stands on its own posts, anywhere on your block.

Gable & hip

A pitched roof that matches your house. Attached, flyover or freestanding.

Step 2 · pick a size

How big should your carport be?

Measure your cars with the doors open, then add room for bins, bikes or a boat.

3 × 6 m

Single carport

One car, with room to open the doors on one side.

6 × 6 m

Double carport

Two cars side by side — the most common carport.

6 × 9 m

Long double

Two cars plus a trailer, or a car and a boat.

4 × 10 m

Caravan cover

Built tall — usually 3.5 to 4.2 m clear for a caravan or motorhome.

Local rules

Council rules for a carport in Browns Plains

Browns Plains is in the Logan City Council area, under the Logan Planning Scheme 2015 (version 9.2).

Carports at the front boundary: Under the Logan Planning Scheme a carport up to 6 m × 6 m and 3.5 m high can be built right up to the front boundary without a referral application, as long as it stays fully open apart from where it attaches at the back. That is the classic double carport in front of a garage, and it is why we so often quote 6 × 6 in Logan.
Acreage setbacks: On acreage, rural residential and emerging community land the road clearance is 10 m and side and rear 3 m, so big sheds and carports sit back from the road.
Flood and steep land: In a mapped flood area a carport roof sits above the defined flood level unless an engineer certifies it. On slopes of 12% or more a geotechnical report is needed. Both are in the overlay maps we check before quoting.

How it works

From quote to handover

On-site quote & design
We come out, measure up and design it with you — colours, post and beam spacing, all within the engineering.
Plans & council approval
We draw, engineer and lodge everything: site plan, engineering, Form 15 and the building approval.
Materials ordered
Once approved, the materials are ordered from Australian suppliers. This takes about 2–4 weeks.
The build
Materials never sit at your place longer than 14 working days. Weather can delay us; we keep you posted.
