Do I need a permit to put up a shade sail? 0416 285 656In NSW a residential shade sail is generally classed as a permanent structure and does require a permit. This however does fluctuate depending on the council your area is governed by. For larger and more permanent structures typically greater than 30m2, a permit is required, particularly if the shade structure is being used in a public place such as a park or school.
