Building a Patio in Safety Bay
Settled Almost a Century Ago
Safety Bay was subdivided in the late 1920s and grew through the 1930s, which makes it one of the older suburbs we cover. If an older home has a patio that's had its day, we can take it down as part of the job.
Wind Off the Water
Nearby Shoalwater draws windsurfers and kitesurfers for its wind. Near the water, we plan the frame and the way it's fixed down to suit your block.
Salt Air on the Safety Bay Foreshore
Safety Bay looks onto Warnbro Sound and its sheltered beach. If your home is on or near the foreshore, its distance from the high tide mark decides which steel it needs.
We confirm the right steel for your home on your free on-site quote.
Foreshore Homes
Within 100 m of calm water, the steel maker recommends Colorbond Ultra, its steel for homes near the sea. Further back, it recommends standard Colorbond, a steel roofing that comes already painted.
Rinse It More Often
The maker says to hose down the parts rain doesn't reach at least every six months, and more often near the coast. Under the gutters is the spot to watch.
Council Approval for a Patio in Safety Bay
For a Safety Bay home, patio approvals go through the City of Rockingham.
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.

Patio Questions From Safety Bay
Frequently asked
What Happens at the Free Quote?
We measure the area and your boundaries, look at how the patio would sit against the house, and go through which styles would suit. Then we work out your price from what we've measured.
Which Patio Is Best for Entertaining in Safety Bay?
For a bigger entertaining area, a gable patio, which has a pitched roof like a house, or a dome patio, which has a curved roof, gives you more height and air underneath. We talk it through at the site visit.
Do You Build Carports in Safety Bay?
Yes. We build carports as well as patios, so if you want both, say so when you book and we'll look at both at the site visit.
Can I Customise My Patio?
Yes. We plan the layout, the size and the look around how you want to use the space, and work through the design with you early on.
Can You Match My Safety Bay Home's Roof?
Yes. We can match your patio to your home's roofline and colours, so it looks like part of the house.
How Long Does the Build Take?
Most take 1 to 3 days, once your materials have arrived and any approvals are through.
