Key Factors to Consider:

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.
  6. Urban or Rural Zone: Whether your property is in a suburban or rural zone can influence the regulations you need to follow.
  7. Purpose of use: In many areas, what you are using your cabin for can affect whether you need an approval or not.
