Permit for a Pergola?

Shannon Roche made this Freedom of Information request to Wyndham City Council

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Wyndham City Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Wyndham City Council,
We have just purchased a house and wanted to put a pergola out on the patio. I was just informed we may need a permit, however I thought if it was under 10² metres it was allowed without a permit.
What are the regulations for having a pergola on the patio?
Warm regards

Yours faithfully,
Shannon Roche
