This guide is general information, not project-specific advice. The measurements, heights, dimensions, clearances and other figures in this guide are general industry guidance and typical ranges only. They are provided to help you understand kitchen design and plan your project. They are not a set of specifications for your kitchen, and they are not building, design, engineering, electrical, plumbing, structural or compliance advice. Always check before you build. Every kitchen, site, appliance and product is different. Before finalising any layout, measurement, height, clearance or fitting, you must: confirm all dimensions and clearances against your own space and your actual chosen appliances and products (manufacturer specifications take priority over any general figure in this guide); engage appropriately licensed and qualified professionals (such as your builder, cabinetmaker, certified electrician and licensed plumber) to design, measure, certify and install your kitchen; and ensure your kitchen complies with all applicable Australian Standards, the National Construction Code and any state, territory and local requirements and approvals (including for electrical and plumbing work, which must be carried out by appropriately licensed tradespeople). No guaranteed outcomes. Kitchen design depends on factors specific to your home and selections that are outside our control.
