Hi all.
Just seeing if anyone has experience in this matter. Here is a quick rundown..
I have a 1012 sqm block in Quakers Hill (Western Sydney, Blacktown council). The current house at the front is in perfect position for a battle axe subdivision. Under current council regulations though I can only do a dual occupancy, I'm about 30 sqm short of subdivision.
The other day I was speaking to my neighbour and he reckons he spoke to an engineer at the local council and he told him that because the precedent had been set in our street you can take the case to Land and Environment court and the will almost definitely rule in your favour. There are multiple blocks in our street that have been subdivided when the council rules were different. Some of the subdivided blocks are actually quite a bit smaller than ours.
Anyway, just seeing if anyone has experience in something like this and i should pursue it or whether my neighbour is full of crap and just do a dual occ.
Thanks again
