Internal Renovations can improve the liveability and sustainability of your home with careful planning, thoughtful design and a considered choice of builder.
Most local governments have planning policies that allow minor internal and external changes that don’t alter structure or services to be made without council approval, but it is always best to check first. Alterations to services (plumbing, drainage, gas and electrical) do require approval and inspection by the relevant authority but may not require planning or building approval.
