you have to have min 100mm between a garage floor level and the house level (suposedly to contain any flamable spillage) which is why you should step up from your garage into your house. If you have a window between a garage and a dwelling it has to be high level or fire rated glass which is very expensive. They are suposed to be fire seperated areas. Yes I see a lot of houses which one way or another dont comply with the BCA and, or R Codes. In theory I supose you could possibly do it, if you agreed to drain all petrol out of the car before parking it in the dwelling rendering it a display rather than an operational car. How is it different to a Gas Heater? fair point, I dont make the rules. But you should see the rules for flamable goods storage which as far as the BCA is conserned a car is. |

I think it is a clever little nook that happens to allow the entry and exibition of something large. If that area had a few book shelves, a rug, a coffee table and a lounge setting infront of a TV unit no-one would have blinked an eye... but then there is nothing stopping you from using that room for just that as well. Is a parked car really a 'flamable goods storage' item?? And would that also include the bottle of metho under my kitchen sink, or the bottles of home made grog with an RON of 105 on the wine rack at my parents place?

I had a couple of my cars and a bike in my lounge or two years and it was awesome. Porsche, XB GT, and CB250 cafe racer. I was living in a garage at the time though...
