Crossover/driveway question

Page 1 of 1
We have a block of land with a narrow frontage that becomes wider as the block goes on. It is approx 11.5m at 6m setback.
Question is this…
The crossover/driveway is on the right side of the block, however we want to put the garage on the left side for solar orientation. However there is a stobie/power pole on that left side where the ideal crossover would be.
Can we
A) have a crossover and garage that don’t line up, meaning somewhat curved angled driveway.
B) does this effect the setback we would need to have.
I know we can’t move the stobie pole which would be the ideal situation.
Help!
A curved driveway wouldn't be easy to maneuver an average length 4.6m car in a 6m front yard. Looks like you might need to find a different house design to suit.
With narrow blocks, it is usually stipulated by the developer which side you need to put your garage. Your house will have a build to boundary garage and so will the house next door. They are all on the same side of the block so they don't touch.
See if there is ways you can alter your house design.
