Development Assessment
If you are thinking of undertaking development on your property, or on a property that you lease or are intending to lease, you may require development approval.
Development Applications - new online system
South Australia’s new planning system and ePlanning Portal came into effect on 19 March 2021.
This page has been updated to reflect the new planning system and online process.
For enquiries relating to applications lodged prior to 19 March 2021, please contact the Council’s Planning Department on 08 8366 4530.
The process of development approval ensures that the development is safe, orderly and consistent with the policies envisaged for the area.
