Rear strata common property?

[dr3tz]

Hi all,

Just out of curiosity. Does anyone know why in a 2 house front and rear survey strata arrangement the driveway is made a common property? I would have thought it would make more sense for the rear property to have sole ownership of the driveway? Is this a sub-division regulation?

Thanks!

Some councils wont allow more than one crossover.

And sometimes If the frontage is to narrow you will have trouble designing it with a garage and habbital room at the front.
