Can I put a door to a room without council approval?

And the rumpus room has a "linen" cupboard. LOL

 

A rail inside to hand tea towels on hangers ?.

 

Is the plan you posted approved by council?

If so, and they have approved "Bed 2", there has to be another one somewhere.

When you find it, put a door on it.

 

Score! 3 Bedder Granny Flat. haha

 

Are you breaching copyright reusing the plans for the property? Probably not as it is not for a purpose which cannot be unreasonably anticipated (if you used the design elsewhere, it would be a breach). Are you infringing the designer's moral rights, possibly.

@RoadRunner Are you able to legally let the gf separately from the house under the Qld regulations? @RPI. It may not matter how many doors you have on your bedroom.

 

In NSW I can legally rent out granny flat. Not sure about QLD. It has private backyard and all utilities gas/electricity/water/internet are separate. I am getting $340 pw in current market in sudney SW.

I called insurance company today and asked them if they can provide me a no objection letter for a door without council approval. After arguing with them for 40 minutes on phone they gave me consent in email.

Also, I called private certifier again today and asked them if I really need to lodge a DA for an internal door. His reply was “Look we can’t say no but we are not going to come back and check if you know what I mean”.

In conclusion, I have decided to proceed with the door installation. I just have to remember that for future renting or selling I can’t advertise it as 2 bedroom flat. Also i will disclose that the door is an addition on top of council approved plan and that’s it.

 

Just make sure you never advertise it as a 2 bedroom.
