Stewie Your driveway goes from 4%>17%>10%. Your first transition doesn't comply with scraping provision, nor the maximum change of grade of 12.5%. Should be a minimum 8.5% transition. Maybe the assessor was abit sleepy that day. Georges river, Cumberland, Parramatta, Canterbury Bankstown, Bayside, Fairfield City (to name afew) don't require long sections. Ryde, Hunters Hill, NB, Sutherland Shire do require them (to name a couple less). Most councils work out levels when they do the driveway permits and design for these types of developments. Architects should ensure the levels will work, but most don't. Most definitely don't have DCP requirements for long sections for single dwelling development, while some councils do. Re: Driveway standards and issues. 37Oct 24, 2021 6:29 am Any driveway - like any major aspect as part of a DA should have the necessary drawings done for it . It shows the council, the client and the concreter exactly what is required. There should be no guessing or making it up as they go along for the concreter in particular. As for our driveway above, that is according to the councils guideline. When the concreter lays out the formwork they will probably just run L to C in a straight line. but also has to be inspected by the certifier and council pre-pour.

Stewie Council's standard drawings and details are still bound by, and are designed to AS 2890. Unfortunately, your driveway doesnt comply with even the most basic requirements of the code, regardless of whether it went by council or not. I know for a fact that a B85 vehicle would scrape at the first sag, if it was built like that. If your concreter just ran it as one grade from boundary to the layback - then youd have a 10% grade driveway which complies, and would drive beautifully (funny enough). The design was wrong in this case - did not need any of those transitions. Re: Driveway standards and issues. 40Oct 24, 2021 11:06 am Stewie D As stated before, it is accordance to their drawing A4/3330 2NH. I'll let you argue with the council whether their drawings comply with AS 2890. Stewie These council drawings comply - I know them. The issue is that you applied that drawing to your driveway, which you shouldn't have. Not necessary. 10% to the kerb is compliant, and works better than your ridiculous transitions. I don't know why you continue to defend your driveway profile lol. Building Standards; Getting It Right! Don't think they are designed for double brick. WA has a particular way of building and unfortunately that's the way a large amount of sills are finished. 3 7005 I believe this is correct. From the picture you can see the power was put in last so the electrician knew where the water was. Really it's a common sense issue more… 4 5152 2 8645 |
