Town of Cambridge

Carport

In our hot, dry Perth climate protecting your vehicles from the elements is absolutely essential. One popular way to do this, is to design and build a carport.

A carport is a practical alternative to a garage and can be completed for a fraction of the cost. With a carefully designed carport- including the right selection of materials, colours, finishes and location, your carport does not have to be an eyesore, and can add to the aesthetic appeal and value of your property.

For residents living in the Town of Cambridge Perth, the council stipulates certain rules and regulations when planning on building a carport on your property including the height, width and location. All precincts in the Town of Cambridge have a minimal setback requirement from a street to carport of 0.3m (as long as it is separated from your house by 1m, although it can go up to 2m from the street, depending on the precinct your house is located within). It is also important to mention that the City of Cambridge will not approve your carport design if it is deemed to distract away from the character of the streetscape. So rather than erect a cookie cutter carport, contact us today to create a design that incorporates features of your dwelling and complements your space.
