And even when they are installed properly - you need to know that it is your job to clean them and make sure they do not build up wiht leaves etc - otherwise - they will overflow. So as a way of getting more house to your fenceline - they work - just beaware (not afraid) of the responsabilities that come with them. And as Michelle says - ask away - lots of folks here love to help out.

Your candidate house is 16.9 m wide and your candidate land is 18.05 m wide. This leaves, if you centre the house, only 575 m on each side. You should look at your Council's Development Control Pan (DCP), which is available on their website. This will tell you the required side setbacks. For my area the required side setback for a single storey dwelling is 900 mm. I think you'll find that this is pretty well standard. Assuming the applicable side setback is 900m, you have two choices: 1) Find a different block of land 2) Trim the house width. I think if you changed the garage width from 6.15 m to 5.5 m (which many project homes have), you'll then have 900 mm side setback on each side. You'll find that "guttering, eaves , hoods and other similar structures" may extend about 225 mm from the walls and therefore will be less than the 900 mm side setback. I don't think you'll loose much if you reduce the garage width since the rear door to the outside doesn't serve much purpose and the design already has storage provision as part of the garage. I like the plan overall. One thing that looked odd is that the home theatre room has a 3.4 m wide opening without any doors. This may allow too much light in for a home theate room.

I've lived in the Adelaide hills for 10 years - and in different 3 towns - so just make sure your neighbours don;t plant some nice trees soon.
