Can council requirements be different for a corner block vs a standard block?

Yes, genuinely — a corner block has two street frontages, which typically means two sets of setback rules, sightline requirements at the intersection, and sometimes different crossover regulations that a standard mid-block property doesn’t face.

Your surveyor or contractor should confirm your council’s specific corner-block requirements early, since they can meaningfully affect where structures like driveways and retaining walls can genuinely be positioned.
