Glenside is about 3 km south-east of the CBD, in the City of Burnside area.

Outdoor kitchens in Glenside
Many newer homes in Glenside have a concrete alfresco under the main roof, which is the ideal spot for a built-in BBQ bench, sink and fridge. Run gas, water and power while it's easy to get into the walls, and check any estate design guidelines or encumbrances before building something new outside.
Before you renovate
Most kitchen renovations in Glenside don't need council approval if the work stays inside and the structure doesn't change. Parts of City of Burnside 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.
