I was wondering if there is a statute of limitations with regard to altering the use of a room without changing the roof line, or walls?
A couple of different builders have told me that if an alteration has been made without a permit, there is a 6 Year statute of limitations whereby a permit is no longer required.
I am possibly considering changing a huge walk in robe into an ensuite.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as although I don't want to do anything illegal, I would prefer to use the Law in my favor if possible.
I live in Melbourne.
Many thanks.
