Termites, hardwood and bushfire ratings

Termites are active across much of Sydney, so the deck frame should be made of treated or naturally resistant timber, or steel, and left open enough to inspect. Hardwoods such as spotted gum are a common Sydney choice for boards. On bushland edges — the Hills, Northern Beaches, Sutherland Shire — the site's bushfire attack level (BAL) can limit the materials allowed.

Common questions

Does a deck in Sydney need council approval?
Many small, low decks are exempt development in NSW if they meet set conditions on height, size and distance from boundaries; larger or higher decks need approval. Ask the deck builder to confirm which applies.
Can an old deck be repaired instead of replaced?
It depends on the condition of the frame and footings, not just the visible boards. Ask for an inspection of the structure before choosing a repair.
Is composite decking maintenance-free?
It still needs cleaning and care. Ask about the product instructions, heat and slip characteristics for your site.
