Retaining Walls in Kariong
Building a retaining wall in the Mount Penang Parklands precincts, Kariong? Council's plan for these precincts notes shallow soils that erode easily, with sandstone close to the surface and drainage problems that can follow. This applies to the named Parklands precincts, not Kariong generally.

Retaining Walls around Kariong
Ask Council which precinct your Kariong block sits in. The plan's wording is about those precincts only, and this page does not stretch it to the rest of the suburb.

Permits and Central Coast Council rules
A wall that is not exempt or complying development needs a development application to Central Coast Council. Exempt means no more than 600 mm high and clear of boundaries, easements, sewer and water mains, so check the lines on the main retaining walls page and confirm with Council before work starts.
Source: Central Coast Council, Exempt and Complying Development and Development Applications; State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 (NSW) cl 2.29 and 2.30; read 27 September 2026. — confirm current requirements with Central Coast Council.
