Do NDIS home modifications need council approval in Townsville?

Some NDIS home modifications need council approval in Townsville, but not every job does. Minor works such as grab rails or small internal changes may only need an OT scope and builder quote, while structural changes, new ramps, wet-area reconfiguration or major access work can trigger building approval or certification requirements. That matters in Townsville because high-set homes, raised entries and older bathrooms often need more than a simple product install. The smart move is to ask early whether the quote includes approval-ready drawings, waterproofing details or certification costs, so the scope matches what the OT recommended. We quote and carry out this kind of access work; certification, where a job needs it, is a separate independent step.
