Regulations and Engineering

Engineering is a cost to factor in depending on your wall height. See below for current Australian Standards

AS4678-2002 – Earth Retaining Structures sets the overall standards for retaining walls in Australia.

Other Australian Standards that may be relevant include:

AS/NZ1170.0-2002 Structural design actions – General principles
AS/NZ1170.0-2011 Structural design actions – Wind actions
AS3600-2009 Concrete structures
AS/NZ2312-2002 Guide to the protection of structural steel against atmospheric corrosion by the use of protective coatings.

On top of these Australian Standards, councils have their own regulations, so it is best to do your research to ensure there are no hiccups along the way.

Council Requirements

When planning to build a retaining wall it is always recommended to contact your local council for any information or planning approvals.
