Building Permits

You will need to secure a building permit from the Macedon Ranges Shire Council if you shed matches any of these four criteria:

1. Your shed is larger than 10m2 OR your shed is 3 metres high OR your shed is higher than 2.4 metres and is 1 metre from a boundary.
2. The shed is attached to an existing building.
3. The shed is going to be built over an easement.
4. The shed is attached to the front wall of your dwelling.

If your planned shed matches any of these criteria, you will need to get a building permit. If you are planning on engaging a professional builder, they should be able to handle your permits internally and save you the trouble.
