Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my home loan redraw to build a shed?

Yes - redraw can be used for any purpose including building a shed. Funds transfer to your account and you pay the builder directly. No new loan or approval process required.

Do I need council approval for a shed?

Depends on size and state. Small sheds (under ~10–20m²) are typically exempt. Larger workshops near boundaries usually require a DA or Building Approval. Check with your local council.
