Do I Need a Permit for a Garden Shed?

Announcement posted by Sheds4Less 01 Aug 2012

What you need to know about building garden sheds and council permits & approvals, videos released.
Sheds4Less,a leading online seller of garden sheds in Australia,today released the first 2 videos in a series about what you need to know about permits and approvals for garden sheds.

Alex Cochran the founder of Sheds4Less, said;
“Questions about garden shed permits, council approvals and development applications (D.A,s) are amongst the most common questions we get from our customers. It is really difficult to get a comprehensive but simple answer without trawling through the web for hours. So we thought that we would put a series of short videos together to try and explain the basics and put them on our website.”

The team at Sheds4Less has put together the first two videos that cover garden shed setbacks and the basics of garden shed exempt and complying developments.

Cochran went on to add;
“Now we are just simple garden shed manufacturers, not Holywood producers so the videos are pretty basic and frankly a bit cheesy, but they do give our potential customers an idea about what they should consider to make building their garden shed a hassle free project. Of course you should always consult your local council if you need further clarification.”

Cochran says that the one of the goals of Sheds4Less is to make buying and building a garden shed as simple as possible.

“Some of our customers would have preferred to go to the dentist than start a garden shed building project, our aim is to turn what seems like a chore into something that can even be a bit of fun, it’s really not that hard,” he added.
