Not from Monash, but we had to apply for the same from Wyndham and we got ours approved in 6 weeks time.

We have a minimum of 7.6 through monash and we want 4.5 from front porch. On one side they are 4 metres and the other they are 7. We were required to be at 5.2m (as the average of the either side property 4m and 6.4m respectively). And we asked for 4.2m which got approved. Also, not sure why you are considering it from front porch as far as I know the setback is considered from the front habitable wall and not porch as long as it is not more than 3m in height(which would be unlikely) unless there is something specific about your build/council.

We are going with porter Davis and they will do it for us we are just concerned that they will miss including done critical things.
