Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need council approval for a new deck?
In many cases, yes — especially if your deck is elevated, attached to your home, or includes a roof or balustrades. The Coffs Harbour council has specific requirements regarding deck height, boundary setbacks, and safety standards. A licensed builder can help you navigate approval requirements and make sure your project is compliant from day one.
What timber is best for decking?
Popular timber choices for decking in Australia include Merbau, Spotted Gum, and treated pine. Each has different benefits: Merbau offers durability and a rich tone, Spotted Gum is a hard-wearing Aussie native, and treated pine is budget-friendly and versatile. The right choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and how much exposure your deck will have to sun, rain, and foot traffic.
How long will a timber deck last?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, a timber deck can last 10–30 years. High-quality hardwoods tend to outlast softwoods, but ongoing care, like sealing, oiling, and checking for damage, makes the biggest difference. Factors like drainage, sun exposure, and airflow also affect how your deck holds up over time.
