Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Corner Block Truncation Setback 4Jul 29, 2014 10:24 am rhuang krishy_g rhuang Hi ALL! We are building in south Brisbane, and on a corner block (around 550 sqm, 17*32). We understand there is a 9m*9m truncation setback requirement for corner block. Our questions is how do you determine the 9m? Is it from the intersection of the extended lines of land boundaries or the edge of both roads? As there is around 2-3 meter grass strip between the edge of our block and the edge of the road. And has anyone ever applied for a relaxation successfully for corner truncation? The reason I am asking is because the truncation requirement makes our rear setback less than 4m (too small for a garden). I would really appreciate for any response!! Ron Hi Ron, We've been talking with plantation homes as we are also building on a corner block. But we have been informed that a relaxation to 6m x 6m truncation should be no issues from brisbane city council. Confirm with your builder on their thoughts. Mona Hi Mona, Thanks for the reply! We are building with Plantation too. However, we are informed that the relaxation is nearly impossible. I have also taken time talking to other builders as well, got the same reply. May I ask whom from Plantation are you talking with? Our tender presenter was Laura. Hi Ron, We were told this by our sales consultant Troy.
