Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 24, 2012 9:09 pm Can someone please confirm if I'm understanding the NSW Complying Development rules correctly? We have a block that's just under 600sqm. The floorspace/coverage rules which are relevant are that our house (including garage, fenced balconies etc) can be up to 330sqm; outbuildings can total to 45sqm; and the hard surface when viewed from above can't go over some proportion which I think is 50%. Would I therefore be correct in saying that, as long as the hard-coverage in-total doesn't except about 295sqm, it would be acceptable to have a house (including inbuilt double garage) with total upstairs+downstairs floorspace of about 325sqm, and a separate single-garage-plus-workshop which encloses about 40sqm? Hi All, see above image. The required setback from the rear boundary in my case is 5m, as you can see the shape of the site and location of the boundary is slightly… 0 8432 you need to make an application to your local council for this as they are the approval authority for driveways cheers Simeon 1 7073 |
