Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 14, 2011 10:29 pm Hi, I am building in Yokine, WA. The shire has come back and asked us to extended the reversing bay which will take another 1.75meters out of our court yard. The builder said sometimes they accept it, but this time they haven't. The existing reversing bay was 8.70 meters deep from the boundary fence. The shire want us to extend it to 10.46 meters. The block is only 20.12 meters wide so they will cut into 50% of the block width. Are there any exact guidlines on this? I want to meet with the planner but not sure what argument to take. Regards Mel Re: size of reversing bay for rear battle axe block 2Jul 14, 2011 11:43 pm Hi Mel, we've got the same width block in the same suburb. Our reversing bay is about 10.4m deep or extends about 4.4m past the side of the garage door, though our garage doesn't face down the driveway you turn into it. The council has an overlay they place on the plan to work out the reversing bay size. I know Stirling council is usually fairly strict on their application of the requirements. Have you chosen your builder yet? Our build is just about finished so are looking forward to getting back into the area. You'll have to post your plans, it's always interesting to see what the neighbours are building.
