Copy of Strata renovation rules

You need permission to do a kitchen or bathroom renovation. You also need permission to change the walls, floors, or ceilings.

Cosmetic work

Cosmetic work doesn't need approval.

Cosmetic work includes any changes that don’t affect the structure or outside of your apartment, duplex or strata property and don’t require waterproofing.

Some examples of cosmetic work include:

• installing or replacing hooks, nails, screws, handrails, blinds, curtains or built-in wardrobes

• painting the interior

• filling minor holes and cracks in internal walls

• laying carpet.

Your strata scheme can choose to add more types of work to the list of cosmetic work; check your by-laws to see what applies in your scheme.
