    Some other things to consider:

    Fire safety – do the new “bedrooms” have adequate fire protection? In our building these sorts of proposals disappear due to the cost of fire engineering reports, additions to the sprinkler system, & wired in smoke alarms.

    I also wonder if the strata plan would need to be redrawn to show any new bedrooms? Do the new internal walls form part of common property & need to be reflected on the strata plan?

    A read through the National Construction Code (excellent lockdown reading) might also be useful to see what constitutes a bedroom for your class of building. Bedrooms need minimum dimensions & natural light.
