Before commencing works
Once Development Approval is granted you are permitted to commence works. This must occur within 12 months of the date of the approval. You are required to notify council at a minimum of 24 hours prior to work commencing.
Customers are also encouraged to contact Council so that a Site Management Meeting can be arranged to discuss the processes of working within the City of Adelaide. Arranging this meeting assists to ensure a smooth and efficient construction process.
Site Management Meetings cover:
● How you intend to undertake your Development
● If you will need any City Works Permits for street occupation, concrete pours etc
● Traffic Management and any if parking controls are required
A site meeting can be held onsite, or at Council. Representatives from Building, Compliance and on-street services will be present at this meeting to assist with any queries you may have.
If you are not going to commence works within the 12 month period you should follow the steps guide listed in the Extending Development Approval information guide.
Inspections
Council have a team of officers responsible for inspecting sites to ensure works are undertaken in accordance with the Development Act 1993, Building Code of Australia and appropriate Australian Standards. Officers may, at any time, request access to your site to ensure works are being undertaken in accordance with approved plans.
Completing works
Once your development is complete you are required to notify council. This will allow officers to undertake a final inspection, if necessary. A Builder’s Statement may be required to be submitted to Council at the completion of work.
Certificate of Occupancy
Prior to occupation a condition of the approval may be that a Certificate of Occupancy is required. A Council Officer can issue this certificate if Council has granted the approval Building Rules Consent.
Please contact Council to arrange for a site inspection to issue to Certificate of Occupancy.
