4 Bay Shed in ColorBond Dune is a shed that has been customized allowing a space for our client that is truely their own. The creation of 4 bays allows for ample access plus giving all the space that you need once inside. This shed creation has no steel posts inside the shed – making sure that there is nothing getting in the way of what you need to store or move around. A perfect example of the roller door having the height clearance to store a caravan or create the ultimate man cave.
Sitting behind the shed is a rain water tank that will collect all of your water needs and then some. A great tool to have on your property if the worse should happen. The break down of the shed is as follows:
- Shed: 9m wide and 13 long
- 3 x Roller Doors at 3 metres high and 2.44 wide allowing a height clearance of 3 metres
- 1 Roller Door at 3 metres high and 3.43 wide allowing a height clearance of 3 metres
- 1 personal access door in the colour Dune with an outward swinging door
Do I need Council Approval to build a Shed in NSW?
In NSW, if you require council approval depends on a few factors such as the size, shed location and what you will be using the structure for. Many smaller, standard sheds can be built without council approval while larger or more complex structures may require council approval. Generally speaking, if your build meets the below conditions, it could meet exemptions and won’t need approval, remembering that every council across Australia builds and approves to a different set of rules. We can assist with the council process and advise accordingly.
You generally don’t need council approval if:
- The build floor area is 20 square meters or less
- It is no higher than 3 metres above grand level
- It is set back at least 900mm from the property boundaries
- It is not located in front of the house
- The build is for domestic purposes
- It doesn’t have any living areas or bathrooms
- The property exists under a residential zone
- There are no heritage or environmental restrictions on the site
