In many cases, council approval is not required for temporarily storing a 40-foot container on your property. However, this can vary depending on the location and intended use. In urban areas or if the container will be used as a permanent structure, local councils may have specific regulations. It’s advisable to check with your local council for any zoning restrictions or permit requirements before placing a container. For additional guidance, please see our council approval page.
