Here is a photo from the ABC Brisbane facebook page
I would say this is far to close.
That space is just going to be a collecting point for spiders and vermin.
I really don’t see the point of wanting a detached house and then having it look like a terraced house.
It is really going to hit the resale value as well.
Recommendation
A good rule of thumb if you want to avoid something like the above photo is plan for a house 2m narrower than the block.
That means you can have a 1m path on either side
Allotment sizes are ridiculous. As a minimum you need 1.5m on one side and 3.0m on the other. I think block sizes should be in the range 19-22+m wide. Otherwise I have found your comments on various topics as most helpful.
I’m not going to disagree that more than 1m would be good.
My last new house was a super wide block so the minimum from the boundary was 3m.
