Development applications

Once it is determined to which relevant authority the application should go, it is then necessary to choose the appropriate type of application, and assessment pathway.

The process for assessing standard developments, developments which are exempt from approval requirements, and accepted developments (which do not require planning consent) is outlined in the the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (SA). Development approval may include approval for:

  • Planning Consent
  • Land Division Consent
  • Building Consent

An application for development approval can be lodged via the SA Planning Portal on the PlanSA website.
