Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 22, 2023 6:23 am Hi everyone, First time poster here hoping to get some advice please, any help is much appreciated We are looking to do a knock down and rebuild in Willoughby Council and are hoping to build a house with a double garage (opening will face the road). Our lot width is 10.6m and I know under CDC a double garage would not be permitted as it is too narrow. However I was looking to see how if anyone has experience or might know how likely it is that a double garage would be approved as part of a DA? If it helps, we are looking to build a double storey home. Many thanks in advance!

We've just started looking at our knock down and rebuild, so any help is much appreciated! nimbus3 I am still waiting on an answer however I took a look at the Willoughby DCP and for your lot size they have a maximum garage opening of 3.2m which would mean only a single garage unfortunately. There are also references to this in other parts of the DCP where they say that a garage can't be the dominant feature to the facade. So I don't think you are in luck Will let you know if I hear anything different.

Any structural alteration to your home requires building permit. Before you get it you will have to supply plans with structural assessment, you will also be removing… 2 11201 dimensions on your original plan are inconsistent and with accurate dimensions (including site plan, upstairs and down) i could make a proper scale drawing with furniture… 3 22331 Thanks so much! The cladding is Nuline plus by BGC. I added this in as the options at Summit didn't have a classic weatherboard look. Glad I did, it looks really nice! 28 118343 |
