Re: Where does the definition of a renovation stop? 18Feb 16, 2015 11:57 am chode1984 Thanks for that detailed response Rob. Congrats on your reno/build btw. House looks awesome. I'm in a situation where we are looking to split our 855sqm block and totally redo the current QLDer on one side and add another QLDer on the other side. Whilst I work in a totally different field (aviation), I've spent the last few years studying for a diploma of building design and will have this completed in the near future. I was hoping to manage the work on both of these until I realised you could only OB once every six years. Is there any reason my wife couldn't apply for an OB permit? In other words is the permit one per person every six years or one per household every six years? I think the OB permit relies on the Title deads so it would depend on who the name of the property is registered in. If one was yourself and one your wife then easy. Permit goes in each of your names. For Joint applications not 100% sure. I've also heard of people who have "Friends" that have a Builders licence using their licence for the application and still ultimately Owner building themselves. So there are ways around the system but you need to be creative and know people well. Another option might be to not Divide your land until after you have completed the build. Apply for the construction of the 2 Dwellings at the same time under the one OB permit. (Just a detached building after all) Once the houses are built then Sub divide the land. That though would depend on your council allowing you to build the 2 structures without splitting the land first. But they might be OK with that, you would need to speak to them. I'd call your OB office and council, explain what you want to do and see what they say. No harm in asking. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=44762 My Owner builder journey extending a 1930's Bungalow Hello Josh, This is Irving from PRIMA, we are a manufacturer of the staircase, railings, kitchen cabinets, windows, doors from China.
