FAQs
Do I need a building permit for a shed or carport?
In most cases, yes. Any shed, garage, or carport over a certain size will require a building permit in Victoria. The threshold depends on the structure’s floor area, height, and proximity to boundaries. Contact us and we’ll confirm what applies to your project.
How long does it take to get a building permit?
For straightforward residential projects, assessment typically takes around 5–10 business days once a complete application is submitted. More complex or commercial projects may take longer. We’ll always keep you updated on timeframes.
