Laundry Renovations in Geelong
Laundries sit in the same Victorian registration class as bathrooms and kitchens, and most of a laundry job is plumbing. So the line that matters most is the compliance certificate: for plumbing work valued at A$750 or more, the plumber must give you one.

What laundry renovations in Geelong actually involves
Relocating a trough or washing machine taps means new water supply and drainage connections. In Victoria that is plumbing work, and only a plumber licensed or registered by the Building and Plumbing Commission for that class of work may carry it out.
Power for the dryer and new points
New or moved power points are electrical installation work, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety must be completed for it and given to you.

When the laundry is part of a bigger job
If the laundry is done under the same contract as the bathroom, it is the contract's value that is measured against the A$10,000 line. Above it, the builder must be registered and must use a major domestic building contract, and the government building levy applies to a job that needs a permit. The main page covers the class.
Say in your message whether the trough or the machine taps are moving: that is the plumbing question the provider will ask first.
