Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Relaxation of boundary clearance QLD 7Jul 20, 2008 10:36 am We have recently got our Brisbane City Councils approvals through - all approved!
Our estate stated we needed to be 1.5 metres from all boundaries, with a 6 metre setback. We were approved to get a zero boundary for our garage (on one side), 1.5 on the other side, and 3.5 setback from front. We did get forms signed by our neighbours - to say they had no objections - but this is just a formality to the process (ie helps get it thru quicker). As long as you are not on a corner or blocking anyone's view, our builder said - it usually isn't a problem to change your configuration on your block. Our builder arranged all of ours & even got the contact details of our neighbours for us (they are still building too). Good luck. We did have a few sleepless nights worrying about this though - as I am sure you are. But it definitely was easy in the end for us. Louise Re: Relaxation of boundary clearance QLD 8Feb 01, 2019 6:49 am HI Louise, Can you please elaborate a little bit more. I have to go through the same process in getting my front set back reduce from 6m to max I can, not sure if it is 4.5m to garage and 3m to the house? how much did it cost and how long it took? what was the reason certifier used to get the relaxation?
