Can I use bathroom plumbing for relocated kitchen?

I am looking to move the kitchen in our granny flat from the back wall; to the wall on the left (blue boxed area).

The bathroom sink is on the other side of the wall where I would put the new kitchen sink.

Can we use that same bathroom plumbing for the new kitchen sink, plus an addition of a small dishwasher and small washing machine?

This is in Sydney City council area - is council permit needed?

Re: Can I move the kitchen, the new kitchen sink will be on the other side of a bathroom sink

Hello @wendalls 

 

Thank you for sharing your question about moving your kitchen. Yes, it will be necessary to get a permit in Sydney in regards to moving kitchens. You'll need a permit especially if you are moving plumbing, electrical and gas fittings. My best advice is to visit your local council and have a look at the rules and regulations. I also suggest speaking to a kitchen renovator who has experience in transferring kitchens. If you can provide us with the measurements of the new spot, we'll draw up a kitchen layout for you.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
