Setback scenario

Distances vary with council, height, boundary type and approval pathway. Review the assumptions before using this concept.

VIC · small second dwelling scenario

Side: 1 m
Rear: 1 m
Primary street: Behind main house front wall
Other street: 3 m

Scenario: walls no higher than 3.6 m; 1 m side/rear; behind the main house front wall. The 3 m secondary-street setting is a starting assumption requiring council confirmation. Schedules, site slope and other siting controls can change the result.

Use locally confirmed distancesBuilding Regulations 2018 · 74A, 79

A 1.8 m structure clearance and 1 m easement buffer are conservative concept assumptions. Service authority requirements, eaves, fire design and access may require a different layout.

Check your boundary types

Match each numbered edge to your survey. Corner sites need both street boundaries marked. Suggested labels are not verified.

Before you start planning

Does a layout that fits mean I can build?

A fit means this footprint sits inside the geometric constraints selected in the tool. It does not grant planning or building approval. Height, private open space, overlooking, drainage, trees, access, services and title restrictions also matter.

Are all easements shown?

No. Available public datasets vary by state and can be incomplete. Some map features are only lines, with no surveyed width. A blank map is not proof of a clear title. E2ES can help you identify the title, subdivision and service information needed for a site review.

Why do setbacks change between properties?

Setbacks depend on the state, local planning scheme, lot area, wall height, neighbouring buildings and which boundary faces a street. Queensland is also transitioning to its new Housing Code. This tool shows its scenario and allows locally supplied distances; it does not confirm which approval pathway applies.

Can I add a shed, tree or an access path?

Yes. Use “Add what the map is missing” to trace a structure or keep-clear area. The home cannot be dragged into the exclusion. Traced dimensions and any tree protection area still need to be checked on site.
