    Hi, I have bought a large highest house in Brisbane that has been built under. It has a shower and toilet under and a fairly basic attempt to put up walls for rooms ect… The ceiling Height is 2.1 for half of the area and 2.8mt for the other half. Upstairs is 4 bedrooms and I was going to basically mirror the downstairs to the upstairs. What considerations do I need to have to do his legally? Thanks for your help Jeff

    Rooms with 2.1m ceiling height cannot be  classed as habitable rooms ie they must be bathrooms, kitchens, laundry, storage etc.
    You will need a DA/CC through council
    Wou will need to fire separate the two dwellings & comply with all other provisions of the BCA for the class of construction.
