Outdoor kitchens in Glenelg North
Outdoor kitchens near the beach in Glenelg North have to cope with salt air and the afternoon sea breeze.

Before you renovate
Most kitchen renovations in Glenelg North don't need council approval if the work stays inside and the structure doesn't change. Parts of City of Holdfast Bay are within Historic Area or Character Area Overlays under the Planning and Design Code. These mostly affect changes you can see from the street, so a kitchen inside the house is rarely an issue, but an extension or new verandah may need approval. Make sure whoever you hire holds a South Australian building work contractor's licence, gives you a written contract for work of $12,000 or more, and arranges building indemnity insurance if the job needs approval. If you're replacing the benchtop, remember engineered stone can no longer be installed, so look at porcelain, sintered stone, natural stone or laminate.
