Built for the heat
Patios Made for Midland's Summer Heat
Midland is well inland, so a patio there has to cope with the full heat of a Perth summer. These are the options that keep it cooler underneath.
Insulated roof panels
Panels such as SolarSpan and Cooldek have insulation inside, so much less of the summer heat comes through the roof.
LED downlights in the ceiling
The panels can take LED downlights, so the patio works as an outdoor room after dark.
Engineered steel frame
The frame is steel engineered for WA summers and storms, with materials from BlueScope, Colorbond, Orrcon and Palram.
Insulated panels: SolarSpan and Cooldek
Midland patio approvals
Do You Need a Permit for a Patio in Midland?
Most patios around Midland need a building permit from the City of Swan.
What's handled for you
- Site plans showing where the patio sits on your block
- Engineering certificates, an engineer's sign-off on the design
- The building permit application to the City of Swan
Only small structures skip it
The state's building rules let a few small structures go up without a building permit, such as small garden sheds and small pergolas. Planning rules can still apply to them.
Heritage streets
Guildford is a State heritage listed place, so the City of Swan needs to give development approval (its planning sign-off) before any work, on top of the building permit. In the Woodbridge heritage area it is most likely needed too.
Near the bush?
Parts of the City of Swan are mapped as bushfire prone. New building there needs a bushfire attack level (BAL) assessment by an accredited assessor, and the result can call for extra construction measures.

Midland FAQs
Questions About Patios in Midland
Answers on permits, heritage, bushfire areas and heat for a patio around Midland.
Do I need council approval for a patio in Midland?
Usually, yes. Apart from small structures such as small pergolas, building work in the City of Swan needs a building permit under the state's rules. The site plans, engineering certificates and permit application are handled for you.
Can I build a patio in Guildford?
Yes, but plan for an extra approval. Guildford is State heritage listed, so development approval from the City of Swan comes first, and nothing can start until you have it. The building permit comes after that.
Is my block in a bushfire prone area?
Check the Department of Fire and Emergency Services' Map of Bushfire Prone Areas for your address. If it's on the map, the work has to be assessed for its bushfire attack level (BAL) before it starts, and that can mean building to a higher standard.
Is an insulated patio worth it in Midland?
If your patio takes the afternoon sun, it is worth a look. Insulated panels such as SolarSpan and Cooldek keep more heat out than a plain steel roof, and they can take LED downlights.
How much does a patio cost in Midland?
The size and style set the price, and so does the roof. In Midland's heat, it's worth pricing insulated panels against a plain steel roof. Your free on-site measure and quote tells you what it costs, and interest-free finance starts from $55 a week, subject to approval.
