Ballarat City council (actuall VIC building regulator) says shed under 10m2 area and 2.4m high is OK, but what if shed is not on the concrete slab, but on the deck instead? how the height/distance from boundary is determined for spherical structure (geo-dome in my case), and how it is measured on sloped terrain? |
Hello Bojan,
Of course it will be best when confirmed by the relevant authority, but I feel it is reasonable to conclude that:
- The applicable area would be at its maximum horizontal diameter
- The distance to the boundary will be from the closest point of your structure (i.e: at the max horizontal diameter)
- The maximum height is based on natural ground level
You could possibly also move further from the boundary and increase to 3m (as per Matt's post [Hello Matt]),
subject to approval. Consult with the authority and do everything you can to keep the design and position such that it does not require further approval or certification.
Best
