Shed and Garage Approvals in Canberra - First Sheds Canberra Ranbuild

In this video we explain the two different methods of achieving a DA exempt Building Approval. This is the most common way of getting a shed, garage, carport or studio approved in Canberra. There are two levels of approvals in the ACT, the first is a DA, which deals with the specific design and goes out to your neighbours for notification. This is a very long (6 months +) process that typically costs at least $5,000. After a DA is achieved you must always subsequently get a Building Approval, this approval. However, to stop more basic structures like sheds and garages from clogging up the already stressed DA system in Canberra, ACTpla has laid out some framework that allows you to be exempt from a DA and get only a Building approval (BA). First Sheds routinely gets DA exempt BA's through the approval process in 4 weeks. In this video we discuss the two separate sets of rules that have been set out by ACTpla. If your proposed shed, garage, carport or studio is in Canberra and meets either of these criteria then you are exempt from a DA approval.
