Ipswich and the western corridor are the third leg of Sunstate’s service area, alongside 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 sitting over your property.
Ipswich has a long-established older housing stock alongside large new estates, and the two raise different questions. On an older home the roofline and the state of the existing structure decide what can attach to what. On a new estate the constraints are more often covenants and setbacks 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
Drawings prepared, application lodged with Ipswich City Council, council dealt with directly, certifier sign-off at completion.
