Built for NSW Exempt Development

Urban Caves supplies prefabricated Class 10 non-habitable backyard cabins for sites that suit NSW exempt development rules.

We coordinate the on-site assembly of kitset cabins by independent trades. We do not supply granny flats, dwellings, plumbing approvals or planning certification.

• Supplied as Class 10 non-habitable structures 
• Not approved as dwellings, bedrooms or rental accommodation 
• Intended for intermittent, non-residential use

In many cases, a development application is not required when the relevant exempt development criteria are met.

Site-specific suitability is reviewed during a separate site inspection.

Property owners are responsible for confirming that their site and intended use comply with NSW planning rules.

Urban Caves provides general guidance only and does not provide planning certification, council approval or legal advice.

We do:

• Supply prefabricated Class 10 backyard cabin kitsets 
• Coordinate on-site assembly by independent trades 
• Design cabins to align with exempt development limits 
• Review visible site constraints during a site assessment

We do not:

• Submit council or planning applications 
• Install or coordinate plumbing 
• Supply or install habitable dwellings 
• Certify planning compliance

Some display cabins may include furniture or styling props to show possible layouts. These items do not change the classification or approved use of the structure.

If your project requires a dwelling, granny flat approval, plumbing approval, planning certification or mandatory inspections, Urban Caves is not the right fit.
