Outdoor kitchens in Mawson Lakes
Many newer homes in Mawson Lakes 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.
In Mawson Lakes apartments and townhouses, an outdoor kitchen usually means a balcony or courtyard set-up. Many strata buildings restrict gas bottles and open flames on balconies, so check your by-laws first. An electric grill with a compact bench and storage is often the answer.
Before you renovate
Most kitchen renovations in Mawson Lakes don't need council approval if the work stays inside and the structure doesn't change. 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.

Do I need council approval for a kitchen renovation in Mawson Lakes?
Usually not, if the work stays inside the house and doesn't change the structure. Removing a load-bearing wall, building an extension or adding a roofed verandah for an outdoor kitchen may need development approval, which in South Australia is lodged through the PlanSA portal. For Mawson Lakes, development applications are assessed by the City of Salisbury. The builder quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
Can I get an outdoor kitchen in Mawson Lakes?
Yes. Many newer homes in Mawson Lakes have a concrete alfresco under the main roof, which is the ideal spot for a built-in BBQ bench, sink and fridge. We can arrange a quote for an outdoor kitchen on its own or together with your indoor kitchen.
