Tannum Sands is a beachside town south of Gladstone, in cyclonic Wind Region C and right on the coast.
Being in Region C changes two things at once: the shed is engineered to a cyclonic wind class, and the small-shed exemption from building approval does not apply, so even a garden shed needs approval.
Council has released the Boyne Island and Tannum Sands (BITS) Shoreline Erosion Management Plan, and Wild Cattle Island National Park sits just across Wild Cattle Creek. On beachfront streets, erosion and salt exposure both shape where and how a garage is built.
The town had 5,227 residents in 2021, mostly in houses (only 8.6% apartments), with a median age of 41.
Council rules differ, so these notes are per council and come from each council's own pages. Requirements depend on your property, proposed structure and local planning/building controls.
Wind: Geoscience Australia's interpretation of the AS/NZS 1170.2:2021 wind-region map places Gladstone and Agnes Water in Region C (cyclonic), while Hervey Bay and Childers are in Region B1. The dataset is indicative only; the engineer confirms the site's design wind speed. Source
Measure what you're parking, then add the room to open doors, walk around and store things. That, not a catalogue size, sets the garage.
Backyard sheds live close to fences, neighbours' windows and the house, so siting rules matter as much as size.
Plan the working floor first: where the bench goes, where the vehicle or machine sits, and how you'll move around it.
Carports sit where people see them, often right on the boundary or against the house, so siting and wind are the first questions.
