Growth town in the north of Somerset
The Somerset planning scheme names Kilcoy as offering significant urban growth opportunities, one of the three towns where most of the region's growth is concentrated. At the last census 94.4% of occupied dwellings were separate houses and the median age was 38.
New homes need somewhere for the gear
Younger households on new lots usually want a garage or a garaport soon after the house, and rural properties around town want machinery and hay storage. The council publishes a Kilcoy flood map and floodplain management plan, which we check before the shed is sited.
Several houses at once
For builders running several houses in a new subdivision, made-to-plan steel frames keep lots moving on the same detailing, with site-specific changes handled per lot.
Getting it to Kilcoy

What to check before you build in Kilcoy
Check the flood mapping first
Somerset Regional Council publishes flood information for Kilcoy. If your lot is mapped, it can decide the slab height of a shed or garage and where it may sit on the block, and for a new home whether a raised steel floor suits better than a slab. Send the flood report or your certifier's advice with your enquiry.
Repeat designs in growth areas
Kilcoy has planned growth on the council's books. Builders working several lots from one house design can re-use the same shop drawings, with site changes such as wind class or floor level handled per lot.
Attached and dual-occupancy housing
Attached housing is part of Kilcoy's mix. For duplexes and townhouse rows we detail the whole building together, show every party wall on the layouts and deliver in the order the units go up.
Wind classification for the lot
Wind classification is set lot by lot under AS 4055, not by town. Include it with your plans (your certifier or engineer can provide it); it decides bracing and tie-downs in the frame.

Do you build sheds and garages in Kilcoy?

Where do I find flood information for a Kilcoy lot?
Somerset Regional Council publishes a Kilcoy 1-in-100-year flood event map, a Kilcoy 1% AEP maximum flood depth and level map, and a Local Floodplain Management Plan for Kilcoy. Your certifier confirms what applies to the building, and we design the shed or frame to it.
Does a shed in Kilcoy need council approval?
Most sheds and garages need a building approval from a building certifier, and some lots also need planning approval from Somerset Regional Council. Small structures can be exempt under the Building Regulation 2021, but the rules depend on size, siting and zoning, so we check your lot before quoting. We can prepare the paperwork for you.
