Carport dilemmas
Hi, I'm looking at building a 4.5x6m carport in the middle of my property (far from setbacks, etc). I was hoping to wood-frame it and go through the hoops with the city. I've just received some quotes from private certifiers, and they want an engineer's report along with a council assessment. Part of their fee includes the assessment. I would be footing the bill for the engineer's report (they even recommended their mate).
I'm just wondering if this is completely necessary. An engineer for a carport? It seems excessive. The assessment as well. I callled the council about placement and they said it wouldn't need development approval coz it's not near anything. Anyway, I hope someone here can offer me some not-for-profit answers. As soon as money's involved, it dawns a silly season round here. Cheers.
PS: I'm in Moreton Bay, just north of Brisbane.
