sliding bifold door on the rear house's verandah

Happy Australia day, members.

Just wonder if a council permit is needed to add/install sliding door on the rear's house of the verandah.

What about to add doors and windows so it become a queenslander home.

Regards

At a party last night talking renovation (as you do) and a guy said the next door neighbour wanted to add a back verandah (high house at back) and change single door to double sliding. Geelong council took 2 years to grant the permit, made him have an outside staircase down off the verandah and even made him get a demolition permit for the widening of the doorway!

It's pretty close to impossible to create a Queenslander unless a) the house is in Qld b) you relocate the house to Qld or c) you enact an act of parliament to realign state boundaries to include your house.

Adding doors and windows will create privacy issues with the neighbours so will require a da modifying the existing may not but speak with one of the duty planners at council.
