Building & Planning in Roxby Downs

Roxby Council is required to assess all forms of development against the Roxby Downs (Municipality) Development Plan, as well as the Building Code of Australia under the Development Act 1993 and associated Regulations. This is carried out under long standing arrangements with both City of Salisbury (building assessment) and a planning consultant (planning assessment).

Regulations establish procedures which Council must follow in its assessment of applications including what level of public notification is required, and where applications must be referred to external authorities, such as the Environment Protection Authority and the Development Assessment Commission for concurrence. Fees are set out via the Development Regulations 2008. These fees are standard across the State.

Building & Planning Assessments:

A Building & Planning assessment typically involves consideration of the development site and surrounding land, and issues such as the proposed appearance, setbacks, car parking, overlooking and overshadowing. In making an assessment, the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of an application will be weighed up and, in some cases, a proposed development may receive Planning Consent despite not meeting all the relevant Development Plan policies.

The guides and information sheets below will help you to determine if you need to submit a Development Application before proceeding with a building or development proposal. The guides also provide you with important information about what documentation, plans and the like need to be submitted with a development application.
