There are so many solutions for storage in the garage, it’s just a matter of working out where you have the most space and going to somewhere like Bunnings to get what you need. Options include ceiling mounted/hung shelves, traditional wall mounted shelving, pegboards, racks, hooks & hangers and bike racks. If you have space in your ceiling then you can get this converted to storage by someone like a carpenter or Attic Ladders who can put flooring in and dust proof lining if you need, as well as an attic staircase to make it easier to get things in and out. For car ports, things like lockable boxes or chests are great.
If you're looking at building a house, make sure you allow some extra length or width in your garage to install some shelving and you will be eternally grateful!
