Planning permission for an observatory?

[OneCosmos (Chris)]

Hi,

I have finally bought a Sirius Observatories 2.3m dome, which achieves a max height of 2.8m.

It will sit on a slab 3m x 2.5m in my back garden in Nundah. I just went to the Brisbane council website and used the wizard tool (or erecting a shed), which told me I didn't. The reason for my uncertainty though is there was nothing that asked specifically about the height, other than to ask if it was two or more stories - which of course it is not.

When we had the fence put up though because the 1.8m fence was also on top of a 1m retaining wall in the far corner we needed to apply for a height relaxation. Does anyone know if height of an observatory is covered by legislation?

Hi Chris,

Different states have different rules. I believe NSW is 3m; can't say about QLD.

Yes thanks. I'm particularly keen therefore to hear from anyone who has erected an observatory in a suburban garden in Queensland, Brisbane specifically would be good.

PS I just realised this is in the wrong forum - or at any rate perhaps not the most applicable. I will re-post in a more appropriate one.
