A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Back Valley.
Back Valley is a rural locality about 10 km west of the Victor Harbor town centre. It borders Inman Valley to the north, Lower Inman Valley to the east, Encounter Bay and Waitpinga to the south and Willow Creek to the west. Inman Valley Road and Range Road (State Route B37) both pass through the locality, as does the local Back Valley Road.
Back Valley is a rural valley of rolling hills and farmland inland of Encounter Bay. Tucked behind the coast it is reasonably sheltered from salt, though open and elevated blocks still catch the wind, and the country is cooler and greener than the coast. Sloping rural sites are the norm here, which often suits a raised deck or a pergola designed to work with the contour of the land and the valley outlook.
Part of Back Valley falls in the City of Victor Harbor and part in the District Council of Yankalilla, so the assessing council for a raised deck or pergola on a sloping rural site depends on which side of the boundary your land is. Both apply South Australia's Planning and Design Code, under which many of these structures need development approval and smaller low set ones can be exempt. Lodgement is through the state PlanSA system, and we are happy to help sort out the details.
