    Isn't the upper limit for NSW now 20sqm?

      I think it's determined at local government level.

      Our council states it must be less than 10sqm, otherwise we require a building permit. This also affects your house insurance so you'd want to make sure you're not putting it up illegally…

        mskram is correct- in NSW the state-level legislation supersedes any local council regulations. That was actually the reason the SEPP was created back in 2008- too many local councils making up their own rules to the point where there were massive differences between local government areas as to what you were allowed to do.

        In this case, the shed would be considered an 'exempt development' (meaning you don't need council permission) as long as it fits these criteria (from the link mskram posted):

        Subdivision 9 Cabanas, cubby houses, ferneries, garden sheds, gazebos and greenhouses

        2.17 Specified development
        The construction or installation of a cabana, cubby house, fernery, garden shed, gazebo or greenhouse is development specified for this code if >it is not constructed or installed on or in a heritage item or a draft heritage item, on land in a foreshore area or in an environmentally
        sensitive area.
        2.18 Development standards
        (1) The standards specified for that development are that the development must:
        (a) (Repealed)
        (b) not have a floor area of more than:
        (i) on land in Zone RU1, RU2, RU3, RU4, RU6 or R5—50m2, or
        (ii) on land in any other zone—20m2, and
        (c) be not higher than 3m above ground level (existing), and
        (d) be located at a distance from each lot boundary of at least:
        (i) for development carried out in Zone RU1, RU2, RU3, RU4, RU6 or R5—5m, or
        (ii) for development carried out in any other zone—900mm, and
        (e) if it is not on land in Zone RU1, RU2, RU3, RU4 or RU6—be located behind the building line of any road frontage, and
        (f) not be a shipping container, and
        (g) be constructed or installed so that roofwater is disposed of without causing a nuisance to adjoining owners, and
        (h) to the extent it is comprised of metal components—be constructed of low reflective, factory pre-coloured materials if it is located on land >in a residential zone, and
        (i) if it is located on bush fire prone land and is less than 5m from a dwelling—be constructed of non-combustible material, and
        (j) if it is constructed or installed in a heritage conservation area or a draft heritage conservation area—be located in the rear yard, and
        (k) if it is located adjacent to another building—be located so that it does not interfere with the entry to, or exit from, or the fire safety >measures contained within, that building, and
        (l) be a Class 10 building and not be habitable, and
        (m) be located at least 1m from any registered easement.
        (2) There must not be more than 2 developments per lot.

        For the typical residential block, the main things you'd be concerned about are the floor space, height and distance from boundaries. The only other thing I'd double check with this shed would be how reflective it is as per h)
