What is different about building here
Building conditions change from one part of Brisbane to another. These are the ones that matter in this area.
Low-set homes and the flyover question
Much of the northside is single-storey with a low gutter line. Attach a patio under it and the rooms behind go dark. A flyover mounts above the existing roofline instead, and it is what we most often recommend on this side of the river.
West-facing back yards
Under a single-skin roof, a west-facing alfresco is unusable from early afternoon through summer. An insulated panel roof makes it a space you can sit in.
New estates at the northern end
North Lakes, Narangba and the Caboolture estates are newer homes where the builder often stopped the alfresco short. There we match the existing roofline and render, so the patio looks like part of the house.

Your council, and what it wants
More than one council covers this area: Brisbane City Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council. The three things that decide approval are the same across South East Queensland. They are mean height, boundary setback and any overlay over your property.
You can build to within 500mm of a boundary with your neighbour's written agreement, and approval usually runs 2–6 weeks.
We prepare the drawings, lodge the application and deal with the council, whichever one it is.
