Hi Jimmy,
Just a note in relation to your article.
The requirement to engage a registered design practitioner to prepare regulated designs under the DBPA does not apply to work carried out as exempt development (i.e no CDC/DA approvals required) regardless of the value, except for waterproofing work. There is also an exemption for waterproofing work to bathrooms to individual units so that an individual owner could renovate and waterproof their bathroom without requiring a regulated design.
The NSW Dept of Planning has very helpfully released a fact sheet listing typical remedial works that are considered exempt development and therefore require no approvals or regulated designs (except for waterproofing).
