(07) 2802 4427How Our Shed Builders Work in Murwillumbah
We design the shed around the flood level on the river flats and around the slope on a hill block.
The Ground
Around Murwillumbah you are usually on river flats or on a hill block. On the flats, the flood level sets how high the slab goes. On a hill, we either cut and fill the ground or build a stepped slab, which is poured in levels down the slope.
Getting In
Town blocks are easy to get into. Rural driveways vary a lot, and wet weather can change what a truck can get up.
Getting a Shed Approved in Murwillumbah
Our shed builders prepare your application under the Tweed planning rules from the first drawing, because New South Wales rules apply here. On the river flats, that includes the flood controls.
In New South Wales, a smaller building that meets set standards can go through as exempt development, which needs no approval, or as complying development, which a certifier approves against those standards. Anything outside them needs a development application to Tweed Shire Council.

What If My Block Is on a Hill?
You avoid the flood questions of the flats, but the slope means we either cut and fill the ground or step the slab down it.
