Want to extend house wall out to edge of eaves. Can this be done?

I have a brick home with eaves. Down one side I'd like to knock out the exsisting brick wall and create a new wall at the end of the eaves for more space. Is this possible? My house is small and I dont want to add roof etc and go to a really big expense.
Aside from getting the slab extended etc and termite treatment, council, will the roof stay? I'm not a builder and have no idea about where a wall connects to the roof. If you can build walls out to the eaves, and the roof still have the same support.

Any info would be helpful. Considering renovating but needs some questions answered first.
