Hi All,
Been lurking around the forums for awhile now and i've now decided to take the jump and subdivide my property.
I'm interested in a property with the possibility to subdivide and build at the back of the existing house, however the driveway width is only 2.1 meters with chimey and 2.5 meters without chimey.
Does anyone know the requirement for the driveway width in City of Whitehorse (VIC)? And is it possible to modify the existing dwelling and remove the chimey to widen the driveway?
Thanks in advance!

Best thing to do is call City of Whitehorse Council and simply ask.
In my experience however, (and speaking generally, and not specifically about any particular council), you'd struggle to keep the the existing dwelling and subdividing off the rear if the driveway is only 2.5m wide.

Is there any other possible point of entry?
Some standards that are seen in a number of councils are minimum 3m, And require 5 m x 5m entranceways and allow a taper down to 3m.
If you can't get the minimum requirement, perhaps purchasing the neighbors first 7-10m of there boundary could be a option.
Or be looking at the house directly behind and to both sides of you and perhaps a doorknock just asking if they would be ever interested in selling.
if you don't ask you'll never know.
Btw if the profit is there in subdividing your house. "Renovating your home" and moving a entire wall is not entirely out of the question.
or you could be on stumps and bearers. Can just jack it up and shift your house over 50cms.
Btw you said subdivide your property? And then said interested in a property that you can subdivide.
is it your property or a potential purchase.
