What approvals do I need? - Shed (also referred to as an Outbuilding)

Description An enclosed non-habitable structure that is detached from any dwelling, but not a garage.
Do I need approval?

Planning Approval (also referred to as Development Approval) is only exempt from requiring approval where it is in a Residential zone. Where planning approval is required, it must be obtained prior to a building permit being issued.

A Building Permit is required for outbuildings great than 10m². One outbuilding less than 10m² and under 2.4m in height is permitted without Council approval.

What do I need to submit?

Planning

Please refer to the City's DA Checklist - Residential Additions for a complete list of the information required to apply for planning approval.

Building

Please refer to the City's Outbuildings Information Sheet for a complete list of the information required to apply for a building permit.
