If you are proposing a retaining wall you will need to consult with an engineer to prepare a plan showing the location of the wall on your property. If a surcharge loading is imposed on the wall, the height of the wall is one (1) metre or greater, or the wall is located within 1.5 metres of a building or another retaining wall, a building approval will be required.

For all retaining walls it is recommended that an appropriate distance is maintained between the property boundary and the closest part of the retaining wall. Please also ensure that the wall is not within two (2) metres of underground services like sewer mains, stormwater pipes or water supply mains.

☐ Engage a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) to select, design and certify the most suitable type of retaining wall for the site.

☐ Advise the RPEQ if you are planning another structure that will be near the wall (for example, driveway or building loads adjacent to wall).

☐ Obtain a copy of the engineer-designed section for the wall signed and certified by the RPEQ

☐ Compliance Certicate for Building Design or Specification.

☐ Completed DA Application Form 2.

☐ Site Plan that has been drawn to scale and with dimensions (measurements) that shows the details of the retaining walls’ location, size, design and distance from existing structures.

☐ If applicable, the site plan must also show the location of any easements and infrastructure on the site.

☐ Cross section of the driveway crossing (if the crossing is on steep land you may be asked to provide additional sections).

☐ Assessment fee as per Council’s Fees and charges.
