Your carport in Capalaba, start to finish

Capalaba blocks are usually big enough for a double carport and room for a boat or van. Being close to the bay, plenty of locals have a boat or trailer, and a high-clearance carport is a common request.

We check Redland overlays and your frontage before designing.

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.

6 × 9 m

4 × 10 m

Local rules

Council rules for a carport in Capalaba

Capalaba is in the Redland City Council area, under the Redland City Plan 2018.

Patios are accepted development: Under Redland City Plan 2018 a patio, carport or deck is accepted development in the planning scheme, so most jobs need only a building approval from a private certifier, unless an overlay applies.
Boundary allowance: A garage, carport or shed can sit closer to a side or rear boundary if everything in that setback is no more than 9 m long along the boundary, 4.5 m high (3.5 m average) and 1.5 m clear of a neighbour’s habitable window.
Corner lots: Nothing over 2 m high can sit inside the 9 m × 9 m corner truncation, which affects carports on corner blocks.
