Dealing with the Sunshine Coast Local Council can be a daunting task for the uninformed. At Superior Garages and Industrials (SGI), we are the shed building experts and are completely practiced with the rules implemented by Sunshine Coast Council and Queensland Building and Construction Commission.
According to the Sunshine Coast Council’s website regarding sheds, if your shed meets the following conditions, then it does not require prior council approval. The following sheds don’t require prior approval:
That can be restrictive if you are considering building a commercial steel shed on the Sunshine Coast.
Carports and garages fall under Class 10a buildings and require approval as well. But the red tape doesn’t stop there – if you are building any sort of commercial shed or even a large man shed, you will also need approval from the QBCC. However, this is mostly an issue if you desire plumbing in your shed.
If you are still trying to work out where your shed, shed home, or commercial steel shed falls in the classification of buildings and structures, we have provided a table below briefing the Building Code of Australia 1996.
