Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need council approval to build a retaining wall in Alstonville?

Council approval may be required to build a retaining wall in Alstonville, depending on the wall’s height, location, and structural role. In general, if the wall exceeds 600mm in height, supports a structure, is near a boundary, or affects drainage, you’ll likely need a permit from Ballina Shire Council. Approval ensures the wall meets safety and engineering standards. It’s always best to check with your local council or consult a licensed contractor to confirm whether your specific project needs approval.
What is the best material to use for a retaining wall?

The best material for a retaining wall depends on your budget, site conditions, and desired appearance. Common options include concrete blocks, poured concrete, natural stone, and treated timber. Concrete blocks and poured concrete are durable and great for structural strength. Stone offers a natural, high-end look and good drainage, while timber is more cost-effective but may have a shorter lifespan. Each material has its pros and cons, so the right choice will depend on factors like soil type, slope, and project goals.
How long does it take to build a retaining wall?

The time it takes to build a retaining wall depends on the size, materials used, site access, and ground conditions. Smaller residential walls may be completed within a few days, while larger or more complex walls could take a week or more. Factors such as excavation, drainage installation, weather delays, and design changes can also impact the timeline. An experienced contractor will provide a project estimate based on your specific site and work with you to keep the job on schedule from start to finish.
