Do I need a building permit for a bathroom renovation in Australia?

In Australia, the requirement for a building permit for a bathroom renovation can vary depending on the state or territory where the bathroom renovation is taking place and the specific scope of the project. Generally, if your bathroom renovation involves structural changes, such as removing or adding walls, altering plumbing or electrical systems, or making modifications to the building's structure, a building permit is likely to be required.

Your Refresh Renovations consultant can consult with your local council or building authority on your behalf to determine the specific regulations and requirements applicable to your area during the working drawing and concept stage of the process. They can provide accurate information on whether a building permit is necessary for your bathroom renovation project.
