A Guide to Planning and Approval Requirements
Building a shed, carport, or private garage (classified as a
Class 10a structure) involves more than just
construction—there are important regulations and approvals
to consider. These structures fall under council planning
schemes, which means you'll need approval and must ensure
compliance with all relevant building codes and standards.
At Lockyer Sheds, we take care of the entire process for you.
From navigating council approvals to ensuring your shed meets
every requirement, our team handles it all so you can focus on
bringing your vision to life.
However, we believe it’s valuable for you to understand
the basics of these regulations. That’s why we’ve
created simple, easy-to-follow resources that cover planning
schemes from various councils, as well as key details on the
Queensland Development Code and Fire Separation rules. Explore
our helpful guides below and feel confident about your project
from the start.
