What is a class 10 building or structure?
A Class 10 building is a non-habitable building or structure which is divided into three sub-classes:
Class 10a is a non-habitable building including a private garage, carport, shed or the like.
Class 10b is a structure that is a fence, mast, antenna, retaining wall or free-standing wall or swimming pool or the like.
Class 10c is a private bushfire shelter.
A habitable outbuilding on a site is generally treated as part of the house (Class 1 building). Habitable outbuildings cannot be classified as a Class 10 structure.
Typical outbuilding classifications include the following:
A sleepout on the same allotment as a Class 1 building is part of the Class 1 building.
A detached entertainment room on the same allotment as a Class 1 building, perhaps associated with a swimming pool, is part of the Class 1 building.
A small toolshed, used for trade-related hobbies for non-commercial purposes or home repairs, on the same allotment as a Class 1 building, would be classified as a Class 10 building
