So this property im looking at has roughly 3.2m-3.3m between house and side boundary.
One says 3m is adequate when trying to attain existence of existing dwelling.
Whereas another states 3m minimum but also 0.5m each side(side boundary) meaning 4m minimum.
Conflicting information?
This is becoming quite frustrating.
Basically this property has a current carport/garage which is 3.2-3.3m wide and is attatched to a party wall between two properties. Basically all I want to do is remove the roof on my side of the property. Turn it into a driveway than put the carport/garage built behind the existing property.
Then look for potential subdivision behind that property by using the current garage/carport that im wanting to turn into a driveway.
I may be getting a building inspection for the property to see if removal of the garage roof is attainable to council requirements ect and if this can then be used for a driveway of 3m in this short period of the driveway.
Thanks for the help above

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 any on that side etc
But I would expect if you have 3.2ish they would say yes for that part of the driveway next to the house. Talk to a Town Planner at the Council and see if they have previously done it.
