I just had a look at the Brisbane City Council web site on planning approvals for sheds (see: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/plann...heds/index.htm ) where they say:

"Sheds are 'Class 10a' (non-habitable) structures under the Building Code of Australia. According to the Building Regulation 2006, you do not need building approval if your shed is:
  • no more than 10 square metres in area after building work is completed
  • no more than 2.4 metres high (with an 'average mean height' of no more than 2.1 metres)
  • no longer than 5 metres along any side
If your shed does not fulfil all of these requirements, you will need to lodge a building application and have it assessed by a building certifier."


So you could build up to 3 x 3 metres square or with a 3.5 metre radius for a round structure. The height issue is the greater problem though. OK with a roll-off but not a dome.
