Dear members
We have found ourselves in the situation that our crossover and driveway are not going to line-up to well. I think it is going to be a really akward angle to drive into, back out of.
When purchasing the block and getting the house sited, the land and roads were not ready to look at. But, we asked for a block with left-hand side access to get the aspect we wanted.
The house got sited to the right-hand side of the block as the left-hand is our 'living' side; our backyard if you like.
Can anyone offer any tips or advice in getting this crossover changed? I have read some information from our local council and understand that it will be at our expense and that our neighbours must be consulted (at which there are presently none). I have emailed a query to council, but have no reply yet.
You can just see the crossover to the left of the photo. From the crossover to the garage entrance is approx 5.5M and when I stand there and look at the angle think 'no way' it is just going to be a real pain.
I think that applying to council to have it widened would be the best option.
Thanks
Tony
