When I first tried applying for a shed permit, I underestimated how detailed the council wanted the site plan. They rejected my application because I didn’t clearly show drainage and setbacks. I thought it would be simple, but it turns out the little details make or break approval. Curious if anyone else ran into problems during their first attempt and what mistakes to avoid so others don’t repeat them.

That’s a common issue. Councils are strict because sheds can impact drainage, fire safety, and even neighborhood aesthetics. A good way to avoid mistakes is to rely on resources like https://shedpermit.au/, which break down what documents you need and how to present them. They highlight the common errors—like wrong measurements or missing certifications—so you can get it right the first time instead of dealing with delays.
