Building and development Getting ready for the new planning system South Australia is currently transitioning to a new planning system. The PlanSA website provides the entry point to the new system. Development approval processes The number of consents needed for Development Approval depends on the type of development. Development, building and land division applications All new development, including extensions and some modifications to existing buildings, requires approval under the Development Act. Owner and builder information Undertaking building work on your own property may require the services of registered professionals. Non-complying development You can seek approval for development that is non-complying, or not envisaged within a specific zone. Land division A land division is the division of land into at least two allotments, or a realignment of boundaries between at least two existing allotments. Heritage building advice Heritage Grants for listed properties may be provided for maintenance improvement works that exceed the owner(s) funding capability. Projects should be essential to the conservation value of the property or prevent further deterioration. Policies, procedures and committees Our policies and procedures provide a framework for planning, building and development assessment.
