Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Aug 31, 2010 1:58 pm We have a full length rear verandah that we are seriously considering making into an enclosed room (well at least one end of it) for more space. Does this sort of thing require permission from council to undertake? I have enough people in my family to handle the work itself, just not sure of implications down the track if it does not get approval (resale etc).
