Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 21, 2021 2:12 pm Hi, we are planning a KDR on a property and our builder is recommending a setback based on average of two homes on the left as the property on the right is a church (non-residential) and over 10m away. Home1 on left: 16m Home2 on left: 17m Church on right: 11m (is 10 m away from boundary) Picture for reference Question - do we have any chance to use the church on the right for calculating average setback? This will make a huge difference of 2m to our setback. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ PS: we are in Kurangai council.

What was your out come ? We are building in Kurangai council. Cant use the corner block as a reference. So we had to use the closest two homes which aren't corner blocks for setback.

I think you'd be able to use the church like you say and calculate the average between the two adjoining properties. The fact that one of them is a church in my opinion is irrelevant.
