Retaining Walls:

A retaining wall is a piece of infrastructure which is built on land, usually when soil is excavated. The wall is constructed in such a way so as to maintain the excavation and prevent the earth from spilling back into the excavated area. Excavation will often require a development application being made to the local Council, so the construction of a retaining wall will likely be contingent on consent being given to do the work that the retaining wall is intended to provide support for. It is important therefore to properly draft the relevant documentation prepared for the development consent. For more information, see our section titled “Development Applications.”
