can you build a house anywhere on your block of land? as is could you build your house at the back of the block at the most far point from the road if there was a suitable site?
Hi Seth,
There are council ‘Planning Scheme’ guidelines outlining where you can (and where you can’t) build. If you want to build in a location outside the guidelines you can apply to council for a ‘variation’.
Our best advice is for you to discuss your requirements with an accredited Building Designer or Architect.
