I am currently in the process of renewing my British passport while living in Australia. Once it's been renewed, will it have a copy of my permanent residency visa? Or does it just stay in my expired one and I get that back?

The UK passport office won't transfer your visas. I can't speak for Australia, but NZ Permanent Resident visas are only valid in a valid passport. Every time I've renewed a UK passport here I have had to send the passport to Immigration NZ with the required application form and fee to have the visa transferred.

The Passport Office will not do anything to the visa in the old passport. All they will do is slice the corner off the photo page and cover to indicate that the passport is cancelled. You will get this passport back, with the visa intact (no corner cut off). In most circumstances, said visa is valid for travel in conjunction with the new passport, but that's another question.

NZ PR visas are only valid in a valid passport. The OP should check whether their visa will remain valid in a cancelled passport. Australian PR visas are only valid for five years anyway. so they will have to renew it at some point before the passport needs to be renewed again.
