Sunstate builds across Ipswich and the western corridor, as well as Brisbane northside and southside.
What decides it
- Mean height of the structure.
- How close it sits to your boundary. 500mm with your neighbour’s written agreement.
- Any overlay over your property.
Ipswich has plenty of older homes alongside large new estates, and the two raise different questions. On an older home, the roofline and the condition of the existing structure decide what can attach to what. On a new estate, covenants and setbacks are more often the limit than anything in the planning scheme.
How long it takes
2–6 weeks in the ordinary case, longer where a relaxation is needed.
What we do
We prepare the drawings, lodge the application with Ipswich City Council and deal with the council directly. A certifier signs off the structure at completion.
