Frequently Asked Questions About Sheds in New South Whales

In general, the need for a permit for a shed in NSW depends on various factors, including the size, type, and location of the shed. Here are some guidelines that were applicable at my last update:

Size: Sheds below a certain size (often referred to as “exempt development”) may not require a permit. However, if your shed exceeds the maximum size allowed without approval, you may need to apply for a permit.

Location: The placement of the shed on your property can impact permit requirements. Some areas, such as heritage sites or environmentally sensitive locations, might have stricter regulations.

Zoning: The zoning of your property plays a role in shed regulations. Different zoning categories have varying rules for sheds.

Bushfire Prone Areas: If your property is located in a bushfire-prone area, additional regulations may apply to ensure the shed meets bushfire safety standards.

Building Codes and Standards: Sheds must meet specific building codes and standards to ensure safety and structural integrity.

The rules regarding the maximum size of a shed without requiring planning permission in New South Wales (NSW) are as follows:

  • Rural or Non-Urban Areas: In rural or non-urban areas, the maximum size of a shed without requiring planning permission was generally 200 square metres (approximately 2152 square feet).
  • Urban or Residential Areas: In urban or residential areas, the maximum size of a shed without requiring planning permission was typically 20 square metres (approximately 215 square feet).

It’s important to note that these guidelines may vary depending on the specific zoning and local regulations in your area. Additionally, local councils may have their own specific rules and exemptions, so reach out and chat to an experienced member of the Shed Buster team on 1300 954 211 for more information and support.

Proper ventilation helps prevent issues such as condensation, mould, and rot, which can occur when air is trapped and moisture builds up within the enclosed space beneath the shed.

Here are some reasons why ventilation is important under a shed:

Moisture Control: Ventilation allows air to circulate underneath the shed, reducing the buildup of moisture. This is particularly crucial in damp or humid environments where moisture can seep into the ground and accumulate under the shed.

Preventing Rot and Decay: Adequate ventilation helps keep the floor joists and support structure of the shed dry, reducing the risk of wood rot and decay, which can compromise the shed’s integrity over time.

Condensation Prevention: Temperature variations between the ground and the shed’s interior can cause condensation to form. Proper ventilation helps to mitigate this issue, preventing potential damage to stored items.

Pest Control: Adequate airflow under the shed can deter pests and insects that thrive in damp, dark environments.

The type of ventilation needed may vary depending on the shed’s design, size, and location. Some common ventilation options include:

  • Ventilation Grills: Installing vents or grills along the sides of the shed can facilitate air circulation.
  • Gaps and Openings: Ensuring there are adequate gaps or openings between the shed’s base and the ground allows air to flow underneath.
  • Elevated Foundations: Elevating the shed on piers or blocks can create a gap for air to pass through.
