Twelve things on a Queensland block — fences, sheds, tanks, solar — can be built with no council paperwork, but a secondhand toilet needs full approval. This video explains each rule, the hidden wind-region and pool exceptions, and the one clause behind every exemption. It’s for Queenslanders over 50 planning off-grid living who want to check exactly what needs a form first.
