Council Requirements
Most councils allow up to 10 square metres without requiring permission. Our 3.0m x 3.0m shed is the largest shed under 10sqm. However, we recommend checking your local council's requirements.
To obtain council approval for your garden shed, workshop, garage or carport you will need to contact your local area council. Below we have provided some helpful links depending on the state you live in.
