Shed Permits and More Warrnambool

Obtaining permits can sometimes be a daunting and time-consuming process. South West Sheds stands out from other shed distributors by offering assistance for all permit applications required for your project. In almost all cases, this can reduce the need for clients to go to various agents, which can attract substantial additional costs.

For your project, you may need some or all of the following approvals.

One standout inclusion in our service is having a site plan drawn up in-house by our team. This ensures that plans submitted for permit applications are to the correct standard, reducing additional costs for our clients, which they may have had to pay elsewhere.

There is much more to getting a shed installed than just the building process. Before a shed can be constructed or even designed, we need to understand the site and design the building appropriately. There may even be covenants, overlays and environmental aspects to adhere to.

Some properties have restrictions on builds or have general requirements you must meet. Where these conditions cannot be met, an application for a planning permit may be required. We will liaise with the planner during this process for the best possible outcome. Planning permits are a three- to four-month application process with the council.

Building over an easement is possible, depending on the structure and what is located in the easement and footing requirements. Most of the time, two approvals are required, one from the local council and one from the local water authority. We can assist with both applications.

There are a number of factors that attract the need for a report and consent to vary the standard siting requirements. This can be building height, boundary height, minimum street setback and so forth. Contact South West Sheds for help with these issues. 

Some properties fall under the Flood-Prone Land overlay or have land subject to inundation overlays on the property. Our team, in most cases, can assist with taking levels for this application or can otherwise recommend contacts where required. Properties on a sloping block may still be subject to the Flood-Prone Land overlay.

In some circumstances, a VicSmart Application may be possible for your project to save time through the planning permit process. It is important to note that only a select few projects may be possible for this option. Call our team at South West Sheds to learn more about this application.
