Building a Patio in Port Kennedy
Big Family Homes
78.6% of Port Kennedy homes have four or more bedrooms (2021 Census). For a big household, an alfresco, a patio built under the main roofline, makes a covered dining area next to your living room.
Built on Coastal Dunes
Port Kennedy sits on Becher Point, where the wetlands formed in dune hollows running along the coast. We look at your ground at the site visit before we plan the posts.
Ocean Salt and Steel in Port Kennedy
Port Kennedy has the Indian Ocean on its western side. How close your home is to the water, and whether that stretch gets breaking surf, decides which steel grade suits.
We confirm the right steel for your home on your free on-site quote.
Closest to the Surf
Under 100 m from breaking surf, the steel maker doesn't recommend standard Colorbond, a steel roofing that comes already painted. It doesn't recommend Colorbond Ultra, its steel for homes near the sea, either. For these spots it lists a stainless steel roofing called SUPERDURA.
A Short Walk From the Surf
From 100 to 200 m from breaking surf, the maker recommends Colorbond Ultra.
Further Inland
More than 200 m from breaking surf, the maker recommends standard Colorbond.
Council Approval for a Patio in Port Kennedy
Port Kennedy sits in the City of Rockingham, so the City decides which approvals your patio needs.
Usually not needed
Planning Approval
The City says that on residential land, a patio added to a single house doesn't need planning approval, which the City calls development approval.
Needed
Building Permit
The City still needs a building permit for patios, sheds and other structures.
Sometimes
R-Codes Approval
The R-Codes are the Residential Design Codes. They set things like how close you can build to your boundary, how high you can build and how much of your block has to stay open. Depending on your block, the City may need an R-Codes approval as well as the permit.
Source: the City of Rockingham's planning and building pages. Every block is different, so we confirm what yours needs at the site visit.

Patio Questions From Port Kennedy
Frequently asked
Is Port Kennedy Too Far for You?
No. It's about 8 km south of our base in Rockingham, an easy trip for a site visit.
Do Coastal Port Kennedy Homes Need a Stronger Patio?
Some do. A home near the ocean gets more wind and salt air, so we size the frame and the footings, the concrete the posts sit in, for your block. The sizes and materials are confirmed on your free on-site quote.
Can You Build a Freestanding Patio in Port Kennedy?
Yes. It can go over a pool or anywhere in the yard where you want shade away from the house.
Which Patio Styles Can I Choose From?
We build gable, flat roof, skillion, dome, alfresco and freestanding patios. A gable has a pitched roof like a house, a skillion has a single sloping roof and a dome has a curved roof. We help you pick one at the site visit.
Which Patio Styles Let Light In?
A dome patio lets plenty of air and light through, and a gable patio gives you height and light as well.
