Can council requirements differ between a private street and a public road frontage?

Yes, genuinely — a private street or right-of-way can shift some responsibilities (maintenance, access agreements) away from council and onto the private owners, though building and planning requirements for your actual dwelling generally still apply the same way.

Worth clarifying your specific street’s status with council, since private street arrangements genuinely vary in how they’re managed.
