In New South Wales (NSW), you can construct a carport without seeking council approval—but only if it meets strict criteria under the Exempt Development pathway. Here's a breakdown:
---
What Counts as Exempt Development?
According to the NSW Department of Planning, exempt development refers to low-impact, minor construction that does not require planning or building approval—so long as all conditions are met .
For Carports, the standards under Exempt Development include:
Size Limits
Lots ≤ 300 m²: Maximum 20 m²
Lots > 300 m²:
Up to 50 m² in rural zones and Residential Zone R5
Up to 25 m² in other zones
Height
Must not exceed 3 m above existing ground level
If attached to a single-storey dwelling, must not exceed the height of the roof gutter
Open-ness
At least 2 sides and one-third of the total perimeter must remain open
Setbacks
1 m behind the building line facing any road
Side/rear setbacks:
5 m in rural zones RU1–RU6 and Residential Zone R5
900 mm in all other zones
Roof projections must be at least 500 mm from any boundary
General Requirements
Only one carport per dwelling—but if there’s a secondary dwelling, you can have up to two
Not allowed in sensitive or restricted areas:
Heritage items or draft heritage items
Foreshore areas
Critical habitats or wilderness areas
In bushfire-prone zones, if the carport is within 5 m of a dwelling, it must be constructed of non-combustible materials
Rainwater must drain into the existing stormwater system
You’ll need separate approvals if:
You cut or fill the land, affecting topography or drainage
The structure is on or over public land or a road—you must then comply with the Roads Act 1993 and the Local Government Act 1993, and contact the relevant authority (usually council or Transport for NSW)
---
What If Your Carport Doesn’t Meet Exempt Criteria?
If you don’t meet one or more of those conditions, you're not automatically stuck:
You can build your carport as Complying Development (a fast-tracked approval process) by obtaining a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) through your council or an accredited private certifier—provided you meet stricter, pre-set standards .
If your project does not qualify for exempt or complying development (e.g., heritage overlays, larger size, design issues, or zoning conflicts), you must apply for a Development Application (DA) with council. This involves site plans, DA documentation, fees, processing time, and potentially consultation or objections .

Summary Table
Scenario Carport Exempt? Approval Required?
Meets all exempt development rules Yes No
Partial or full exemption fails No CDC or DA required
Located on public land/road No Approval under Roads Act
In bushfire/heritage/foreshore area No CDC or DA required
---
Final Thoughts
You can build a carport in NSW without council approval if it strictly conforms to the Exempt Development rules: size, height, openness, setbacks, and location all within required limits, and free of sensitive areas.
If it doesn’t meet those standards—or if the site has overlays like heritage or bushfire—then you'll need to go through the CDC or DA process.
It's always wise to check with your local council and/or the NSW Planning Portal to confirm current requirements for your specific property before starting work .
Let me know your specific location or property details and I can help you double-check whether your carport plan can be exempt—or walk you through the CDC or DA process if needed.
