The Ultimate Clarence Valley Workspace: A Basalt Beauty with Maximum Versatility
This isn’t just a shed; it’s a masterclass in maximizing every square metre of your property. Whether you are a weekend warrior needing a workshop or a local family looking for more room to move, this custom build offers the perfect blueprint for a functional backyard.
The Specs: Built for Performance
This project features a secure double-bay gable shed paired with an expansive integrated lean-to, creating a seamless blend of locked-up security and open-air accessibility.
🛠️ The Main Structure
- Dimensions: 6.1m x 6m footprint
- Vertical Clearance: A generous 2.9m to the lowest eave, peaking at 3.49m apex.
- The Pitch: A classic 11-degree Gable Roof for that timeless Australian profile and excellent water runoff.
🛠️ High-Clearance Access
We know that for many Clarence Valley locals, “standard” door heights just don’t cut it for modern 4WD’s or caravans. This build features:
- Roller Doors: 2.50m (h) x 2.65m (w)
- Clearance: Approx. 2.5 m height clearance, ensuring those roof racks and antennas clear the door with ease.
🛠️ The ‘Game Changer’ Lean To
The standout feature of this build is the 3.5m lean-to on the left side. Spanning two full bays with an eave height of 2.594m, it provides the perfect “all weather” zone – ideal for a wash-bay, a secondary outdoor workspace, or keeping the boat out of the sun.
🛠️ Modern Aesthetics: Basalt and Monument
A shed should add value to your home, and this colour combination is a certified winner. We used genuine ColorBond steel for a finish that lasts:
- Wall and Roof Profile – Traditional corrugated cladding in the deep sophisticated grey of Basalt
- Accents and Trim – Finished in Monument for a bold, sharp contrast that frames the building beautifully
Do I need Council Approval to build a Shed in NSW?
In NSW, if you require council approval depends on a few factors such as the size, shed location and what you will be using the structure for. Many smaller, standard sheds can be built without council approval while larger or more complex structures may require council approval. Generally speaking, if your build meets the below conditions, it could meet exemptions and won’t need approval, remembering that every council across Australia builds and approves to a different set of rules. We can assist with the council process and advise accordingly.
You generally don’t need council approval if:
- The build floor area is 20 square meters or less
- It is no higher than 3 metres above grand level
- It is set back at least 900mm from the property boundaries
- It is not located in front of the house
- The build is for domestic purposes
- It doesn’t have any living areas or bathrooms
- The property exists under a residential zone
- There are no heritage or environmental restrictions on the site
