Council Approval

Do Garden Sheds need Council Approval?

Nationally, council approval is generally not required for garden sheds 10sqm2 and below. With our current available range, the 3.00m x 3.00m is the largest shed under 10sqm2. However, requirements and regulations vary from council to council, so it’s best to check with your local council before purchasing your shed or structure.

In order to obtain or check Council Approval, it is advised you contact your local council before ordering.
