Building Setbacks (Townsite)
As a general rule no building shall be constructed within a distance of 7.5m from the road and rear boundary. Minimum side boundaries are set by a complicated formula however generally no building shall be erected within 1.5m of any other lot boundary. These setbacks may be reduced by a decision of Council - if there is a compelling argument put forward.
All buildings must be at least 1.22m clear of septic tanks and at least 1.8m clear of leach drains.
Building Setbacks (Rural)
No building shall be constructed within a distance of 20 metres from the road boundary of your lot and no building shall be erected within 20 metres of any other lot boundary. A reduction is setbacks may be permitted if it is shown to the satisfaction of Council that for reasons of topography or lot configuration the prescribed setbacks cannot be adhered to. All buildings must be at least 1.2 metres clear of septic tanks and at least 1.8 metres clear of leach drains.
Many rural blocks have building envelopes created at the time of subdivison. Should you wish to relocate this envelope, approval will be required. A detailed application in writing, including a clear scaled plan, should be submitted.
