Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Jan 17, 2023 9:11 pm Hi all, wondering if anybody knows the rational behind being allowed to build on the side boundary, 200mm off and then a jump to 1/1.2mtr for a single story. I know the setback increase the higher the house is but what I'm confused by is why I can build 200mm off the boundary or it has to be all the way to 1/1.2. Why can't I build 300 mm off it for example or 500mm. A right little brain teaser this has been so any enlightenment would be much appreciated. Also does anybody know the rational for having to splay a garage if you have an unusual side that fans as you follow the boundary?
