Council Approvals for Rural Sheds in Lorne

A large Rural Shed will nearly always require a building permit from the Surf Coast Shire Council. Depending on the property and position of where the Shed is to be built, a Planning Permit may also be required.

Approval requirements may vary depending on building and planning controls administered by Surf Coast Shire Council.

Design Build Sheds uses years of experience to assist in dealing with the requirements of the Local Council.

Our Shed Design and Build service includes:

Frequently Asked Questions

Shed Questions From Property Owners in Lorne

Whether you are comparing options or getting ready to build, these FAQs should point you in the right direction.

Most people start by thinking about what they need to store today. We usually recommend thinking about what you’ll need room for in five or ten years as well. It’s often cheaper to get it right the first time than outgrow it later.
That depends on the property. Access, drainage, existing buildings and how you use the place all make a difference. A good location can save a lot of time and hassle down the track.
Often, yes. Most people don’t complain about having too much room. Machinery gets bigger, storage needs change and it’s amazing how quickly extra space gets used.
Building a shed that’s too small or putting it in the wrong spot. A bit of planning up front can save a lot of regret later.
Of course. That’s one of the most common conversations we have. We can walk through what you’re trying to achieve and help work out what makes sense.
No. Even a rough idea is enough to get started. We’ll help you work through the details.
Mostly machinery sheds, farm sheds, storage sheds, workshops and other large rural buildings. Every project is different because every property is different.
Yes. We can help guide you through the approval process and explain what’s required for your project.
Every project is different. Things like permits, site conditions and the size of the shed all play a part. We’ll give you a realistic idea of timing once we understand the project.
It’s worth talking about that from the start. A little forward planning can make future extensions much easier.
Absolutely. Doors, bays, height, layout, workshop areas and other features can all be tailored to suit how you’ll use the building.
The honest answer is, it depends. Size, design, site conditions and inclusions all affect the cost. Once we know what you’re looking for, we can provide a tailored quote.
No. We work with farmers, rural businesses, lifestyle properties, equine properties and anyone needing a practical rural building.
We’ve worked on all sorts of sites. Access challenges are common on rural properties and are usually something that can be planned for.
