Brisbane City Council issues small lot guidance

In response to industry feedback, Brisbane City Council has issued Brisbane City Plan 2014 Interpretation Guidance (01/17), seeking to clarify the application of AO8.1, AO8.2 and AO8.3 of the Dwelling house (small lot) code.

Performance Outcome PO8 of the code aims to ensure that development provides car accommodation that does not visually dominate the appearance of a dwelling house when viewed from a street. 

The guidance document provided further explanation of the definition of a double garage, the length of a carport or garage in tandem arrangements, and solutions for minimising the visual appearance of the garage.

Further information can be sought from a Planning Information Officer by ringing Brisbane City Council on 07 3403 8888.
