How much do kit homes cost in Biloela?
Kit home pricing depends on what you're building and how much of the build you're taking on. Every block is different — slope, location, council area, and design size all move the number around significantly, which is why we quote each project individually.
A few things that affect the cost:
Do I need council approval for a kit home in Biloela?
Yes. In Biloela, a kit home is a permanent residential structure and requires a Building Approval (BA) from a licensed private building certifier, plus any planning approvals relevant to your block under the Banana Shire Planning Scheme. Requirements vary by block size, zoning, and any site overlays (bushfire, flood, vegetation).
For the home to be legally liveable, it must be classified as Class 1A under the National Construction Code — not Class 10A (which is a shed or non-habitable structure). All The Shed House designs are engineered to Class 1A standard.
As a QBCC-licensed builder, we manage the full approval process on turnkey builds. For kit-only and lock-up customers, we provide all engineering documentation needed to support your certifier's application.
Owner Builders
In Biloela, if your project value exceeds $11,000 you need a QBCC owner builder permit before starting. A short approved course is required. We work with owner builders regularly and can guide you through it.
Banana Shire Council
Granny flats in Biloela: what council requires
Banana Shire Council governs secondary dwellings (granny flats) under the Banana Shire Planning Scheme. Most granny flat builds on correctly zoned properties are accepted development — meaning no planning approval is required, provided the key rules are met. You will still need a Building Approval from a licensed private building certifier before construction begins.
Maximum size
80m²
The Queensland State Code applies, allowing up to 80m² gross floor area (excluding decks, patios and carports).
Proximity to main dwelling
2m minimum separation
The secondary dwelling must maintain a minimum 2m separation from the primary building. A proximity rule may still apply in Rural and Rural Residential zones. Confirm with Council.
Site coverage
Governed by QDC
The secondary dwelling must not reduce the private open space or landscape open space required for the primary dwelling. Site coverage for the primary dwelling is determined by QDC MP 1.1 for lots under 450m² and MP 1.2 for lots 450m² and over.
Rear setback
1.5m minimum / front 6m
The standard front setback is 6 metres; side and rear clearances are a minimum of 1.5 metres for single-storey buildings. Always verify siting requirements for your specific lot with a licensed private certifier.
Overlays
Your property may be subject to overlays that add requirements — including flood, bushfire, biodiversity, agricultural land, and waterway corridors. In addition, some local area plans within the Banana Shire impose requirements beyond the base planning scheme rules. Check overlays using Banana Shire Council's online mapping tool before finalising your design.
Rental rules
Since September 2022, Biloela granny flats can be rented to any tenant — the previous relatives-only restriction has been removed under Queensland state planning reforms. This means property owners now have significantly more flexibility in how they use a secondary dwelling.
Disclaimer: This information is general in nature and may vary. Planning rules vary so you should consult your local council or building certifier to verify the requirements for your property.
All Shed House granny flat designs are engineered to Class 1A standard and sized to sit within Banana Shire Council's accepted development thresholds. As a QBCC-licensed builder, we provide full engineering documentation to support your building certifier's approval — whether kit-only, lock-up, or turnkey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every project is different — block size, location, council area, and design size all affect the final cost. For example, a farming block in the Callide Valley will have different requirements to a suburban block closer to Biloela township. We quote each project individually so you get an accurate number for your specific site.
Turnkey kit home builds are often more affordable than equivalent traditional builds because the designs are optimised for efficient construction. As a result, you get a higher-quality finish for the same budget compared to a standard volume build.
In most cases, yes — provided your property is in a compatible zone and the secondary dwelling meets the key accepted development criteria under the Banana Shire Planning Scheme: no larger than 80m² gross floor area, located within 20 metres of the main dwelling, and compliant with setback and site coverage rules. You won't need a planning approval, but you will need a Building Approval from a licensed private building certifier before construction begins. If your block has relevant overlays (flood, bushfire, agricultural land), additional requirements may apply. Use Banana Shire Council's online mapping tool to check your property before proceeding.

Yes — our kit-only packages are designed for this. If the project value exceeds $11,000 (labour and materials combined), you'll need a QBCC owner builder permit, which requires completing an approved short course. We work with owner builders regularly and can help you understand what's involved for your specific project.
A shed home is a liveable dwelling built from a steel-framed, barn or industrial-style structure — essentially a residential home inside a shed aesthetic. A kit home is the broader category: a pre-engineered package of materials supplied for on-site assembly. The Shed House builds both — our shed-style kit homes combine the aesthetic of a shed home with full Class 1A residential compliance.
