Site plans
The site plan shows a 'bird's eye view' of the building site showing the location of the structure on the block of land. A good site plan can minimise the risk of building on the wrong block of land. It is usually drawn to a smaller scale than a floor plan. A 1:500 scale is generally adequate.
Because the roof line is shown, the downpipe locations and stormwater drainage system can also be indicated. Setback distances from the front and side boundaries are also shown.
