Sheds Tweed Heads

(07) 2802 4427How Our Shed Builders Work in Tweed Heads
We plan your shed around the low ground and the salt air near the coast, under New South Wales rules.
The Ground
Parts of Tweed Heads are low lying and close to the coast. We plan the slab and the drainage around the water table, which is how close groundwater sits to the surface. We also allow for the salt in the air.
Getting In
Most blocks are on established streets, where the gap down the side of the house is usually the tight spot for getting materials in.
Getting a Shed Approved in Tweed Heads
Our shed builders prepare your application under the Tweed rules from the first drawing, because New South Wales handles sheds differently from Queensland.
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.

Questions About Tweed Heads
We plan every Tweed Heads shed around the approval, the ground and the access.
Who Approves a Shed in Tweed Heads?
Your shed goes through New South Wales planning under the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014, the council's planning rules for the shire. That means either a development application to Tweed Shire Council or, if it meets the set standards, complying development through a certifier. The Queensland rules a few hundred metres away do not apply.
Approvals
Can I Build a Liveable Shed in Tweed Heads?
Yes, but it has to be approved as a dwelling under New South Wales rules. A second dwelling is assessed on the zoning and the lot size.
Builds
Does a Small Shed Need a Full Application?
Not always. New South Wales allows exempt and complying development for smaller buildings that meet set standards. Anything outside those standards goes through a full application.
Approvals
Does the Water Table Matter for My Shed?
In the low parts of Tweed Heads, yes. The water table and the salt both affect how we build the slab and drain the water away from it.

Does Salt Air Change How You Build?
Yes. Being near the coast decides which coating goes on the steel and which fixings we use, whichever side of the border you are on.
