Do I need council approval for a deck or pergola in NSW?
When a deck, patio or pergola can be built in NSW without approval, the size, height and setback limits that apply, and when you need a DA instead.
Garden sheds & beds in Sydney
Custom garden sheds that are practical, fit the space you have and look good doing it. Durable raised garden beds for growing vegies and herbs.
A built-to-fit shed uses awkward spaces that flat-pack sheds cannot, and it can match the house. Raised garden beds are built at a comfortable working height and lined to protect the timber.
Garden sheds can be exempt development in NSW if they meet the size, height and setback standards. They cannot be used as living space under those rules.
Where we build
From our base in Oatley we cover Canterbury-Bankstown, Georges River and Sutherland Shire.
Garden sheds & beds: common questions
Do I need approval for a garden shed?
Not if the shed meets the exempt development standards in the NSW Codes SEPP (clauses 2.17 and 2.18). On bush fire prone land it must be built from non-combustible materials. We check the standards for your lot before building.
