    depends on a few things,

    If the carport is on or near a boundary it generally doesnt have to comply with the same rules as a garage in terms of fire resistant materials.

    But if the carport is going to be enclosed it will most likely be classed as a garage, there is a definition in the BCA on what is "enclosed". Any walls on the boundary side will need to be fire resistant.

    If it is not on the boundary and you are just filling in the walls, ie no structural work, I would think you would not need a permit.

    carport is under roof with walls side and back and is 6m back from boundary, and it is on road side. basicly want to put glass doors/windows in the front and carpet the room and use it for an office not parking.
