A report to council highlighted that enforcement action related to unapproved structures had increased by 50 per cent in the past quarter.
A spokesperson said council had attributed the rise to increased customer complaints by the community.
“Council has not identified any demographic or specific reasons for the increase in the customer request or enforcement,” she said.
