According to Ballarat Building Permits website, permit is required for:

• All decks and landings

• All garages, sheds and carports

However, no permit is required for:


Garden Sheds

• Construction of a steel or timber garden shed at the backyard of a dwelling, which has a floor area less than 10m² and is less than 3m in height, or less than 2.4m in height when within 1m of a boundary.

So, theoretically, if my 3m-diameter geo-dome (placed on 3.3 x 3.3m deck, 0.5m high) is declared as single building - garden shed, permit is not required.


However, if it is regarded as 3.3x3.3m deck with removable dome over it, then permit is required (for deck at least, and dome may be a problem because it is not a standard building).



I am very keen to find out what council will say...
