Can i have a Pod in my Backyard? What will Council Say?
Our Clients have been very happy with Council response to their new Pods- However for ease of mind - please see the below links for CBOS guide to Temporary Building Structures.
We sit at just under 18m2 - and any shed or similar structure can be “built without Building Permit”. See below references
CBOS also states:
A shipping container used for storage or as a home workshop is similar to using a pre-fabricated metal shed for the same purpose. Containers are classed as Low Risk Work if they are: • used as a non-habitable structure (shed, garage, workshop, animal shelter etc.), • only one container high and not stacked, • placed at ground level, or on a base or pad (no more than 300mm high), so that they can be tied down, • sited not less than 900mm from a property boundary, • in a bushfire-prone area, sited not less than 6m from any habitable building,
