How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Australia?+
Published consumer and industry commentary in recent years commonly bands a cosmetic kitchen refresh around $8,000–$20,000, a mid-range same-footprint replacement around $25,000–$55,000, and a high-spec custom kitchen around $60,000–$120,000 or more. Layout and structural changes are site-specific and often higher. These are planning bands for a typical 12–20 m² suburban kitchen, not quotes.
