Where a gutter of a carport roof is proposed along a front property boundary, the carport should be set back a minimum of 150 millimetres from that boundary to ensure the gutter does not project into the footpath area. Your shed side wall is only 600mm from the boundary and your shed is 7m long on that boundary. On any site the building must be 1.5m from the side boundaries, 3.0m from the rear and 3.0m from the front.
No windows or openings are located within 0.9m of a side boundary with an adjoining property.
Carports and garages can only be complying development on lots zoned r5 residential if the lot has an area less than 4,000m². The carport and adjacent building are under the same ownership the roof plan area is no more than 40 m² and no part of the roof is closer than 300 mm to a relevant boundary.
