All Topics / General Property / “Storage” requirements for new homes……..
Is there anyone that can "shed" ( pun intended) some light on the requirement for storage in new dwellings (multi's) (Clause 55.05-6 Standard B30) that states:
"Each dwelling should have access to min 6 cubic metres of externally accessible secure storage".
I am questioning if anyone can clarify if it MUST be EXCLUDING a 6×3.5 single garage?? Or is the fact there is a 6×3.5 garage sufficient??
Reason I am qu'ing is, that I have heard conflicting opinions. I am told I will need to provide additional storage (other than single garage) by one and not, by another IN COUNCIL, so please dont tell me to ring council!! And as I have seen plenty of unit sites where there is no seperate storage, I really dont know.
So, I suspect it is a matter of interpretation, like many things in building, and a case of "who you get your answer from."
But I am particularly keen to hear from anyone that can clarify this, or that has encountered this problem to resolve with council before please? (eg: builders? Designers? Developers? Surveyors?)Thanks in advance.
