Bathroom Renovations around Brassall
The townhouse-type share in Brassall is well above the state's. Whether any given townhouse is a lot in a body corporate depends on how its title is held. Where it is, the Queensland Government's page on improving lots says the owner should consider whether the change will affect common property and whether any by-laws affect the changes they can make. It adds that putting hard floors, timber or tiles, in a lot is the reason for many body corporate disputes, and that some bodies corporate have by-laws saying owners need approval for changes to flooring.
For a separate house the question is different: the QBCC says it is the home owner's responsibility to make sure the right building approvals are in place before work starts, even if a builder has been hired. The plumber's notice and the licence line apply either way.
Permits and Ipswich City Council rules
Whether a bathroom renovation here needs a building approval is for a building certifier to say. Ipswich City Council says a Development Permit for building works is required before starting most types of domestic building work, and its wording includes renovating. Council's Building Certification team or a private building certifier can issue it, and the QBCC makes the home owner responsible for making sure the right approvals are in place before work starts.
