Hay and machinery sheds around Warwick
BWG Sheds designs and supplies farm, hay and machinery sheds for Warwick and the Southern Downs, as kits or supply-and-install. Southern Downs Regional Council publishes its own Class 10a building application requirements, and Condamine River flood studies are under way, so we check both before a shed is sited.

What matters for a farm shed in Warwick
Warwick's farms and lifestyle blocks sit around the Condamine River, which reached 9.10 m at McCahon Bridge in 1976 and 7.56 m in May 2022. Council's current flood studies for the Condamine, Dalrymple Creek and Canal Creek mean flood information near these waterways can change, so we read the latest mapping for each site.
Southern Downs is drier and colder than the coast, and its draft replacement planning scheme is out for engagement. A farm shed designed today should be checked against whichever scheme is in force when it is lodged.
Requirements depend on your property, proposed structure and local planning/building controls.
Farm sheds: the brochure
- Machinery and equipment. Open bays wide and high enough for tractors, headers, sprayers and implements, drive-through where the yard allows.
- Enclosed, lockable storage. Roller-door bays for tools, chemicals, fuel and valuable gear.
- Vehicles and utes. Covered parking that keeps the sun and hail off.
Approval in Warwick
A farm shed on agricultural land is exempt from building approval where no part is within 200 m of a road or boundary; closer than that, it normally needs building approval, and council planning rules and overlays can still apply.

Does Southern Downs Regional Council have its own shed requirements?
It publishes a building application information sheet for Class 10a garages, sheds and carports. A building certifier issues the approval; we prepare what the certifier and Council need.
Is the draft Southern Downs Planning Scheme relevant to my shed?
It may be if it takes effect before your application. We check which scheme applies at lodgement.
