Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Victoria?

Sunshine Self Storage, located in Albion, just off Ballarat Road between Costco & Bunnings. Drive-up 10ft, 20ft and 40ft containers, open 5am to 9pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Depending on where you put your container, you may need a permit. In general, it is possible to keep a shipping container on private land, provided you have the access to put it there. Check with your local council before you do.

As an alternative, you may wish to consider storing your goods at a specialised shipping container self storage facility, where there is no permit for you to worry about. One option is Sunshine Self Storage, located in Albion in Melbourne's western suburbs. This highly rated facility has been storing for Melbourne's west for over 20 years and offers very competitive storage options.
