Some important factors to consider when determining whether your cabin needs council approval include:

1. Size of your Cabin: The size of your SheShed cabin is a significant factor influencing the need for council consent.
2. Distance from boundary: Regulations may vary based on how far your cabin is situated from the property boundary, and how high it is.
3. Plumbing: If your SheShed includes plumbed facilities, additional regulations may apply.
4. Height of your cabin: There are specific height restrictions for structures, so it’s crucial to be aware of these limits.
5. Number of Dwellings/SheSheds: The total number of structures on your property may impact council consent requirements.
