Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Dec 07, 2021 10:14 am Hi All, Hope you are doing well! Hoping someone is able to assist us with Brisbane City Council’s small lot code build to boundary garage regulation. We have a subdivided narrow lot. Existing houses (old & new) in the street have garages on the right hand side. We would like to build our garage to the right hand side as well following the norm. However, our neighbour wants our consent to build his garage to the boundary on his left hand side. That means our and their garage would be built to the same boundary. One of the builder we interacted with for our build suggested we won’t be able to build our garage to the same boundary if our neighbour builds his garage and advised not to provide the consent. Haven’t noticed side by side garages myself. I shared my concern with the neighbour but he said it’s not like that and I have got the wrong advice. He seems to be a nice bloke so don’t want to withhold the consent if it doesn’t impact our build in future. Could someone please throw more light on build to boundary garage as per small lot code of BCC? Further, is it recommended & safe to build garages side by side to the same boundary? TIA!
