Caboolture, Morayfield, Woodford and Bribie Island: fast-growing suburbs on one side, acreage and small farms on the other.

How Moreton Bay shapes a shed project

City of Moreton Bay sets hard numbers for domestic outbuildings in its General Residential and Emerging Community zones: no higher than 4 m, a mean height of no more than 3.5 m, and at least 5.4 m back from the front boundary and behind the main building line. Side and rear setbacks follow the Queensland Development Code.

Flooding is a recurring event on the Caboolture River and its creeks, with major floods recorded in several recent years. Council's free Flood Check property report covers river, creek, storm tide, tidal and overland-flow flooding, which is the right starting point for any shed on low ground.

Growth west of Caboolture and Morayfield is planned at scale through the Waraba Priority Development Area. New estates can carry their own rules on sheds and garages on top of Council's.

Bribie Island's beaches are 'surf' exposure in BlueScope's marine classification, so island garages are specified for salt.

Shed approvals in Moreton Bay

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.

Popular in Moreton Bay

  • 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.

  • Residential sheds

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

  • Workshop sheds

    Plan the working floor first: where the bench goes, where the vehicle or machine sits, and how you'll move around it.

  • Farm sheds

    A machinery shed is set by the gear: the widest header front, the tallest cab with the aerial up, and the turning circle to get it in.

  • Carports

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

Moreton Bay: local questions

How high can a shed be in a Moreton Bay residential zone?

In the General Residential and Emerging Community zones, a domestic outbuilding is limited to 4 m in height with a mean height of 3.5 m or less, and must sit behind the main building line at least 5.4 m from the front boundary.

How do I check flooding before building a shed in Caboolture?

Order a free Flood Check property report from City of Moreton Bay. It covers river, creek, storm tide, tidal and overland-flow flooding. We use it when choosing the shed position and slab level.

Do you supply sheds on Bribie Island?

Yes. Bribie Island is in our service area. Its beaches are classed as surf exposure, so we specify coastal-grade materials where the site needs them.
