Yes and no. Some councils will only allow one crossover per 20m of frontage, some councils will allow it. You need to start reading the Town Planning Scheme for your council to see where they are over what the RCodes. Having the 2 driveways is quite a good thing as it means the front unit...

Yes that is my interpretation but it can come down to millimetres and is totally at the discretion of councils. They can forfeit the landscaping bit but the driveway needs to be clear. Absolutely nothing like window sills, eaves, plumbing pipes etc etc protuding into that.

Sewer is neighbour then?

BTW if you are looking in City of Swan watch out for clay soil. This can add MASSIVELY onto your site works cost. For a triplex site around $100k more in siteworks. I know you are going to ask 'How can I tell if there is clay there?' The answer is, no way, definite until you do a soil...

That's correct. Generally you will receive the map in a email about 10 minutes later. It's a bloody marvellous system

I an ideal world it is 0.5/3/0.5 . You would use this if you are starting fresh and don't have an existing house. There is a little grey area in this. If you are retaining a house then many Council will approve perhaps a 3m wide area. Sometimes they will ask you to remove eaves if there is...

Correct. If you want to build within about 1-2m of a sewer line you need to put concrete piling next to the sewer line so that when/if they ever need to dig it up to fix it, your house is ok and stable. This costs a few thousand so best to avoid if you can. Sometimes though it doesn't really...

That might mean that the block/area is still on septic tanks and not reticulated sewerage. If you were to look at 26 Meechin Way on Swan Intramaps (I have randomly chosen this, it is not developable). You will see a sewer line running down the driveway AND inside the back fence. This is one of...

Not all the Intramaps have them. If they do it's one of the layers on the top left or a toggle box down the bottom left. Usually it will show up as a blue line when it's displayed DBYD is http://www.1100.com.au/

Following up on the sewerage thing. Once you found a block that you think meets the size requirements then you need to check if there is any infrastructure that is going to get in your way. The main one is sewerage. Some of the council Intramaps do show sewer lines but the other way is...
