Relevant rules in the Regulation:
- Schedule 1, Part 1.4, Division 1.4.2, Section 1.41.
You may not need DA approval to build a second class 10 development if there’s already a class 10 building or structure within the boundary clearance area (within 1.5m from the boundary) of a block. You must make sure:
- part or all of the existing (first) class 10 building or structure, is in a boundary clearance area of the block
- the second development would be DA exempt under schedule 1 of the regulation if the first thing were not located partially or fully within the boundary clearance area
- part or all of both structures are the only class 10 buildings or structures (other than a boundary fence) are within the boundary clearance area, and
- the relevant cross-section area of both are no more than 30m2 above datum ground level.
Example:
If your garage is next to a common boundary of your block and you’re adding a shed next to the garage and the boundary.
