Giday chaps. I hope everyone had a fab Chrissy and New Year!

I'm in the planning stages of erecting a garage out the back of my place in Conder Canberra.
The garage I hope to put up with be a single with a workshop/sleepout at the side or rear.

I'll have a few questions as I go along, but I'll start with a couple (hopefully Bloss will read this :) )

Looking at ACT Planning and Land Authority - Garages, sheds and gazebos (http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/topics/design_build/da_assessment/exempt_work/process/roofed_enclosed_or_open_on_1_side) it appears that I can build it up against the fence line. This surprised me, I thought there would have to be some sort of setback. If this is the case, it's great, though I would leave enough space to be able to get to the fence for maintenance or replacement.

Is this correct? Also, it looks like I don't need a permit or anything to build is, that's correct to eh?

The back of my property has an easement with sewer etc under it, what's the clearance needed for this?

Thanks in advance Bob!
