Pimpama grew from 9,396 to 24,601 people between 2016 and 2021, almost all of it new family housing.

Building a shed in Pimpama

Four in five Pimpama dwellings (80.8% in 2021) are separate houses on new-estate lots. Those lots are often narrow, and estate covenants may restrict sheds and garages, so we design to both the covenant and the boundary rules.

The new Pimpama railway station opened on 20 October 2025, and Stage 2 of the Coomera Connector between Pimpama and Coomera is TMR's next priority. More growth is coming, and so are more estates with their own design guidelines.

Approvals for sheds in Pimpama

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.

City of Gold Coast

  • City of Gold Coast says a garden shed up to 2.4 m high (2.1 m mean), 10 m² and 5 m long needs no building approval provided it is not in the front or waterfront setback area. Source
  • City of Gold Coast publishes flood depth mapping in City Plan showing approximate flood depth and the defined flood level for each property, plus a city-wide flood risk awareness map. Source

Wind: Geoscience Australia's interpretation of the AS/NZS 1170.2:2021 wind-region map places Southport and Coolangatta in Region B1 (non-cyclonic). The dataset is indicative only; the engineer confirms the site's design wind speed. Source

Common projects around Pimpama

  • Garages

    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.

  • Carports

    Carports sit where people see them, often right on the boundary or against the house, so siting and wind are the first questions.

  • Residential sheds

    Backyard sheds live close to fences, neighbours' windows and the house, so siting rules matter as much as size.

Pimpama: shed questions

My Pimpama estate has design guidelines. Can you work to them?

Yes. Send us the guideline pages on outbuildings (size, height, colour, position) and we will design the garage or shed to them and to Council's siting rules.

Do I need approval for a small garden shed in Pimpama?

Not if it is 10 m² or less, no more than 2.4 m high (2.1 m mean), no side over 5 m, and not in the front setback. Anything bigger needs building approval.
