Planning a build or renovation in the Central Coast? You'll need to understand what local councils, including Central Coast Council, require for structural design approval.


When You Need Engineering Plans


  • New homes or granny flats

  • Home extensions or second-storey additions

  • Most retaining walls 

  • Pools and large decks

  • Alterations to load-bearing structures
