Storage in Leichhardt

In NSW, casual storage of vehicles on residential land generally doesn't require development consent, provided it's incidental to the residential use. If the activity involves frequent commercial vehicle movements (more than 12 per week), your council may classify it differently. Most residential garages and yards used for low-frequency private storage are straightforward. Confirm with your local council if you're unsure.

Strata rules vary by scheme. Under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, your own lot (garage, parking space, storage cage) can typically be rented as a private arrangement. You may need to notify your owners corporation, and some by-laws restrict commercial activity. Check your scheme's by-laws before listing — StorageFinder hosts in strata buildings are responsible for complying with their scheme's rules.

Inner Sydney suburbs typically see covered garage storage listed at $60–$120/week, reflecting land values and strong demand.
