Understanding Building Regulations

While retaining walls offer incredible potential, it’s important to understand building regulations on the Gold Coast. Smaller retaining walls may not require approval if they meet specific criteria:

• Less than 1.0 metre high
• Positioned further than 1.5 metres from buildings or other retaining walls
• Designed solely to support the soil behind them
• Not serving as pool fencing
• Keeping the combined height (wall + fence) under 2.0 metres
• Not built over essential services (sewer or stormwater)
• Meeting structural requirements
• Not located within an easement, covenant area, or waterfront/oceanfront setback area.
