Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 02, 2020 10:08 pm Hi Guys, Could someone please clarify the front setback requirement of black town council. I got a land in Akuna Vista- Schofield, size is 10m*30m. My builder is saying I have to keep 4.5m as front setback measured from front line of the facade (not the from building wall). I am not sure about this and appreciate any feedback? Is it measured from the front line of the facade or from the front building wall? Also, I saw in a document saying that we can have 3m as front setback if the lot is in a newly developing area, Not sure whether this applicable to Akuna vista. Appreciate any comments from guys already built in Akuna vista or black town councils area Thanks in Advance Re: Front setback - Akuna Vista -Blacktown Council 2Mar 03, 2020 7:38 pm Hi, I think the setbacks are correct since we have the same. You can check through this link: https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/-/media ... .pdf?la=en 4.5m to front facade, the porch can encroach slightly, the garage needs to be 1m behind so 5.5m from the boundary. Re: Front setback - Akuna Vista -Blacktown Council 4Mar 03, 2020 9:45 pm You are correct the porch is kind of ignored. The B setback is the 4.5m Re: Front setback - Akuna Vista -Blacktown Council 6Mar 06, 2020 8:38 am As per Penrith council, B should be 4.5 and A they don't allow. But you can talk to the council and come to an agreement.

So B is what it should be. $395 Fixed Priced Landscape Plans for DA M: 0435 127 244 | W: bluegumdesign.com.au | E: info@bluegumdesign.com.au Residential | Commercial | Industrial This was on google.
