Quick update on today's progress. Shed is ready for doors and a roof. I'm really happy with the color choice now the gutter is on.
I also ordered some Blue Mountain Mesh www.bluemountainmesh.com.au gutter guard that I'm hoping to install on the weekend.

When you have finished with the inspections you could also add a lean-to to the left side across to the fence. Trailer or boat storage.
I now have the water tank on the pad behind the shed. It's sitting on some corflute to separate its movement from the concrete. Following advice from earlier in this thread.
There's also now a roof on the shed with insulation and 3 whirly birds.
Today the doors go on and it'll hopefully be finished!

Rock base (recycled concrete) with crusher dust and then cheap pavers. That way the tree roots won't be a permanent problem later. Sloped away from the shed 1in100 should be enough.

Looking great! I was thinking along similar lines to Terrick - some pavers would be a relatively cheap way to get a decent hard surface in that space. Everyone needs an outdoor work area for dirtier welding, grinding, and woodworking jobs!

Great work Steve, and good to see another Brisbane member! Just saw this for the first time, looks like it's going to be a great shed! Do you know which two post hoist you are going with? I'm guessing by the height you can fit a clear floor model?

Shed is all finished. They did a great job and the doors all roll nice and easy.
Today i finished up the difficult bit on the fence at the front as i had to rake down the bottom to match the driveway.
I haven't got any pics but i did applied euco diamond hard to the shed slab.
It was interesting, didnt soak in as much as i thought it would but it did stay "wet" for the full half hour application time as per the instructions.
I sprayed it on with a cheap garden sprayer and agitated it and pushed it around with a 600mm broom.
I masked up all the metal on the shed just in case but honestly i doubt it would've done anything.
I'll post pics in the morning once it's dried up.

Steve, top stuff.
As promised, here's the pics of the Euco Diamond Hard coating on my floor.
I tried to get dome pics showing the sheen it provided. But basically it looks constantly wet now. But it feels like there's not much of a coating on top actually on the floor - like you're walking on bare concrete.
