We want to make a slight adjustment to the plans, basically moving the location of a stairwell slightly inside the property. Nothing that the council had an issue with or gave any conditions about, i.e. assuming that if we had submit the plans originally with this change, they would have approved it just the same. My question is, does this have to go back to council, since the plans they approved will not fully resemble the final build? Or does the certifier just need to certify that any stairwell on the property meets the Aus building code (slope, headroom etc)? Understand its probably a grey area just trying to find an approximation of what can change from the original plans, if any, without needing council involvement again. Thanks!
