This is one of the most common questions we get — and the answer depends on the scope of your project. For most standard bathroom renovations in Brisbane (where the layout remains the same and there are no structural changes), council approvals usually aren’t required. However, if your renovation involves moving walls, altering plumbing layouts, electrical upgrades, or significant structural changes, certain approvals or permits may be needed. This ensures your renovation is safe, compliant, and meets all Queensland building standards. At Gold Star Bathrooms, you don’t need to worry about the paperwork. As a QBCC Licensed builder, a Master Builders Member, and an NDIS Registered provider for home modifications, we handle all necessary approvals on your behalf and guarantee that every project is carried out to the highest industry and legal standards. That means your bathroom won’t just look incredible — it will be safe, compliant, and built properly from the ground up.
