Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Sep 06, 2020 1:48 am Hi all! Just reading through my developer guideline as I go through my siting. It says: Dwellings on lots above 300sqm must have a minimum front setback of 4 metres and a rear setback of 2 metres. Porches, verandahs and porticos less than 3.5 metres in height may encroach up to 1.5 metres into the minimum front setback. Based on my floorplan, I believe I can have my porch encroach .5m into the 4m setback - I was wondering if anyone may be able to confirm this quite easily with the siting plan attached? My understanding is that for as long as the height of the porch is less than 3.5, I can have this encroach max 1.5m to the front set back.. does the height mean the height of the ceiling or something else? If it helps, here's a sample drawing of my façade (based on 2.4m ceiling) - I however opted for a 2.74m ceiling throughout.. I haven't increased the ceiling height of my porch..
