Do I need permits for my kitchen renovation?
Short Answer
Most kitchen renovations require building permits, especially for electrical, plumbing, or structural work. High Vision Renovations handles all permit applications for you.
Long Answer
Whether you need permits for your kitchen renovation depends on the scope of work involved. Minor cosmetic updates like painting, replacing cabinet doors, or changing benchtops typically don't require permits. However, most comprehensive kitchen renovations do require building permits, particularly when involving structural changes, electrical work, or plumbing modifications.
Building permits are generally required for removing walls, installing new electrical circuits, relocating plumbing, adding windows, or making structural modifications. Gas work always requires permits and must be completed by licensed professionals. Some council areas may also require permits for significant changes to kitchen layouts or when work affects external walls.
