Shed, Car Port & Garage Permits

In Victoria, Australia, shed, carport, and garage permits depend on the size and location of the structure. Generally, a building permit is required if the structure exceeds 10m² in area or is taller than 3m (or 2.4m if within 1m of a boundary). Carports and garages attached to a house typically require a permit, while smaller standalone sheds may be exempt if they meet specific criteria. Additionally, a planning permit may be necessary depending on zoning regulations and overlays. Ensuring compliance with local requirements helps avoid fines or removal orders.
