General Rules for Sheds to be Exempt
Most small garden sheds are considered to be exempt from complying developments by Councils and do not require you to apply for a Building Permit or Development Applications.
While council regulations will vary, there are some general rules for shed building that apply throughout most of Australia.
* A 10m2 or smaller shed will probably not require council approval in Victoria. Other States you can go a much as 20m2.
* Your shed must be located no further forward than the front wall of a single dwelling.
* Sheds with a height of 3 metres or less and setback from the boundary 1 metre or more do not require a permit
Exempt Sheds
As with any building and renovation projects we always recommend that you do check with your local council before beginning any works.
