"How will this benefit me?
It is now cheaper and faster for most routine plumbing work to be performed in Queensland. Previously, plumbing work such as a bathroom
or kitchen renovation needed local government approval and inspection. These processes could have cost up to $1600 and taken up to 20 business days for permits and inspections.

Now, a plumber or drainer simply has to notify QBCC that this type of work has been performed, within 10 business days of completing the work.
Licensees may now perform a wider range of plumbing work that does not require approval or notification, e.g. a plumber can install, repair, remove or replace an apparatus (such as a pump or water saving device) without needing to notify QBCC or local government."

If you want to install new toilet (not replace) and new shower (digging up ground) into an existing property is that counted as notifiable work? So just need to fill out form 4 and send to Brisbane city council?

Probably as long as you don't have to build any walls around the facilities. So putting facilities inside the existing laundry or converting a WIR is ok but building a room with a partition wall still needs approval.

It's not inside an existing bathroom or laundry.

I did build a partition wall... but just 1 wall. with a door. Does that count?

When you say approval what do you mean? what should I do now?

Can't you just youtube it like last time?

 

[Scott No Mates]

the construction of ANY kind of wall regardless of whether or not it is load bearing requires development approval.
