Building in Lower Chittering: what the Shire of Chittering requires
Sheds and outbuildings: in rural and rural living zones the policy encourages outbuildings in cleared areas behind the main building line. A shed built before a dwelling needs development approval, and cannot be used for storage until a house is built or substantially under way.
Setbacks: where no building envelope applies, the minimum is 30 m from any natural water body and 1.8 m from any effluent disposal system and its irrigation area. Materials should be non-reflective.
Exemptions: outbuildings are exempt from approval on lots with a built or substantially commenced single house if they meet the scheme setbacks and development standards.
Large and rural structures: large patios, farm equipment shelters and sheds are usually well over the 10 m² exemption, so plan on a building permit. Rural lots can also carry extra rules on setbacks, building envelopes and water bodies, so we check what applies to your lot before we quote.
