    Hi

    I have received a council planning permit (Maroondah) in Melbournes east

    As part of the permit – the council have stipulated that I rebuild and pay for the driveway cross over. On asking why – They have stated that all new cross overs are being re done with a minimum width of 3 metres ??!!

    I for one don't get it

    The cross over is not my property

    The cross over is not damaged

    Don't i pay my rates for council to do this

    I'm chasing where it says in policy or legislation that driveway cross overs now need to be 3 metres wide.

    Does anyone know of this, it seems outrageous!!.
