Your local council is the authority. Don't rely on guesses or old information.

I would say about 2 meters, although I have had one on the boundary for 30 years that I put up. yea local regs if you can be bothered. load of rubbish really. But hey that's the control councils and governments like to have.

From the Acceptable Solution C/AS1 for the Building Code5.5 Carports and similar construction A carport is permitted to have walls and roof with 100% unprotected area provided that all the following conditions are met: a) At least two sides are completely open to the environment, and b) The carport and adjacent building are under the same ownership, and c) For a roof plan area of no more than than 40 m2, no part of the roof is closer than 0.3 m to a relevant boundary.
If the above requirements are met then you comply with the building code But as a previous poster suggested ask your council as there may be some Planning rules to comply with as well

Interesting, this looks like why a builder wouldnt provide screen between ours and the neighbouring house. Actually for their good - we are the untidy ones.
