Answer:
Yes — it’s possible, but subject to additional requirements and local council approval.

Key considerations:

  • Strata title: You’ll usually need approval from the Owners Corporation (if applicable), plus confirmation that common property won’t be affected
  • Battle-axe block: Your site must meet minimum access width, private open space, and setback requirements

Each council treats these block types differently, so Expandify will assess your lot during the Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) with your council to confirm what’s achievable and whether a DA or CDC is required.
