Generally Retaining Walls up to 1000mm in height do not need council approval. If the Retaining Wall exceeds 1000mm in height then yes you will need council approval.
This all depends on site access, the height of the Retaining Wall, the length of the Retaining Wall and any other on site complexities. In general, anywhere from 1-2 weeks on average. However, ask your estimator when we are quoting your Retaining Wall project for a better time frame.
