Does standalone garage near boundary need a fire rated wall?
I can't seem to find a clear answer for class 10 building in the BCA. The proposed garage is single layer brick with piers at 200 setback to side boundary.
Also, the following DCP(Bankstown council) says:
Setbacks to the side and rear boundaries
13.8 The minimum setback to the side and rear boundaries of the allotment is:
(a) zero setback for carports or masonry walls that do not contain windows,
eaves and gutters provided the structures comply with the Building Code
of Australia; or
(b) 0.45 metre for non?masonry walls that do not contain a windows, eaves
and gutters; or
(c) 0.9 metre for walls with windows, or outbuildings that are or are intended
to be used for recreation purposes.
For point A, does it mean that if I setback my proposed brick garage at 200mm instead of zero, I can put a gutter on the wall close to boundary?
Thanks
