What is the difference between a garage and a garaport?
A garage is a fully enclosed structure designed to protect vehicles and belongings from weather and theft, while a garaport combines an enclosed garage with an open extension. The open section provides additional covered space for extra vehicles, boats, trailers or outdoor equipment. This layout is popular for properties needing both secure storage and flexible undercover parking without committing to a full second garage.
Do garages and garaports require council approval?
Most garages and garaports require approval due to their size, height and structural requirements. Councils assess factors such as boundary setbacks, wind ratings, roof design and the intended use of the structure. Approval ensures the building meets safety and environmental standards. Preparing accurate plans and checking local regulations early helps streamline the approval process.
What size garage or garaport should I build?
The ideal size depends on how many vehicles you own, whether you need extra room for storage and how much space is available on your property. A single garage typically fits one car with minimal storage, while double or triple garages offer room for shelving, tools or workspace. Garaports provide wide undercover areas that can be used for caravans, 4WDs or multiple vehicles.
What materials are best for garages and garaports in Australian conditions?
Steel is commonly chosen because it’s durable, low-maintenance and resistant to harsh weather. High-quality coated steel helps protect against corrosion, especially in coastal or high-moisture regions. Strong framing, secure roller doors, proper ventilation and reliable guttering systems also contribute to long-term performance. Good materials ensure the structure remains solid, safe and functional year after year.
