Are you confused about what approvals you need for your shed? If so, dont stress - you're not alone! Building approvals can be a very confusing topic. This guide will help you understand the process for obtaining approval to build and occupy a building in WA. Not all sheds however, require planning approval. Whether your shed will need
planning approval depends on several factors including:
