QLD Demolison code

[WebBoard]

From: M Kats


Has anybody had experience with the demolition code in Brisbane??

I have a dumpy Queenslander on 810sqm.
I would like to cut the veranda off, then move it onto one of the lots.

I am worried about B.A.
House is in Low density Resid. , Character area and is built pre 1946.

Any advise is appreciated.

Regards
Kats

Kats,

Speak to the local council. Their Building Department (Building Permits etc.) should be able to give you guidelines. I am from Melb so I dont know the reg's. Down here, building surveyors are privatised.

I am relocating a Queenslander or 2 in Nth Qld soon and will be going through the same issues. One dumpy Qldr I was looking at renovating need to pass a Council inspection to ensure that it COULD be renovated. Also local Elec Authority inspections etc. Importantly, up North (for anyone else reading), a relocated house PROBABLY has to pass more recent Cyclone ratings - which adds to the cost. Once again though, I am told that it depends on the Council.

I'm not sure if I helped but good luck.
