Western Queensland's hub
Roma had 6,838 people at the 2021 Census with a median age of 35. The Roma Airport station averages 554 mm of rain a year, a mean maximum of 28.2 °C and a July mean minimum of 3.7 °C.
Building behind the levee
The 2012 Bungil Creek flood set record levels in Roma and reached more than 400 homes; a levee and diversion channel followed. Maranoa Regional Council's flood hazard overlay now uses a design flood similar to 2012, so check the overlay before siting a shed or garage in town.

What to check before you build in Roma
Check the flood mapping first
Maranoa Regional Council publishes flood information for Roma. If your lot is mapped, it can decide the slab height of a shed or garage and where it may sit on the block, and for a new home whether a raised steel floor suits better than a slab. Send the flood report or your certifier's advice with your enquiry.
Cold winters: plan the thermal break
The nearest Bureau of Meteorology station records a July mean minimum of 3.7 °C. Under NCC 2022, a steel-framed wall clad in weatherboard, fibre cement or metal needs an R0.2 thermal break between frame and cladding. Settle the cladding and insulation on the drawings so we can detail for it.
Thermal breaks explainedNCC 2022 Housing Provisions, Part 13.2 Building fabric (ABCB)
Wind classification for the lot
Wind classification is set lot by lot under AS 4055, not by town. Include it with your plans (your certifier or engineer can provide it); it decides bracing and tie-downs in the frame.

Council and approvals
Roma is in the Maranoa Regional Council area. Most sheds need a building approval from a certifier, and some lots also need planning approval. We check your lot and can prepare the paperwork.
Roma: questions we get
Do you build sheds and garages in Roma?
We deliver shed and garage kits to Roma, about 397 km by road from our Crowley Vale yard. Having our crew build there is by arrangement, so call us with the site address and we will tell you what is possible.
Can you supply steel wall frames and trusses in Roma?
Steel frame supply to Roma is by arrangement. Send your plans and the site address and we will confirm delivery before quoting.
Where do I find flood information for a Roma lot?
The Bureau of Meteorology records that the January-February 2012 flood on Bungil Creek set record levels at Roma and inundated more than 400 homes, after which a levee and diversion works were built to reduce flood risk. Your certifier confirms what applies to the building, and we design the shed or frame to it.
Does a shed in Roma need council approval?
Most sheds and garages need a building approval from a building certifier, and some lots also need planning approval from Maranoa Regional Council. Small structures can be exempt under the Building Regulation 2021, but the rules depend on size, siting and zoning, so we check your lot before quoting. We can prepare the paperwork for you.
