Hi guys,
Just want to check here before we go through a process of getting a builder/engineer to look at this. We are looking at extending the opening in a load bearing wall (between kitchen and lounge), current opening is 750mm and we would like to double that opening and make it 1500mm.
Do we need a consent for this? I understand if want to remove load bearing wall we require one, or if we want to add an opening we would need one, but do we need one to increase the opening gap?
Thanks.
