A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Goolwa South.
Goolwa South, once known as South Goolwa, lies on both the ocean coast and the south western shore of Lake Alexandrina, with Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island to the north and Goolwa Beach to the west. It covers the whole of the Sir Richard Peninsula, part of which lies within Coorong National Park. The Goolwa Barrage, completed in the 1930s, links the peninsula to Hindmarsh Island and keeps sea water out of the river.
Goolwa South sits between the Goolwa township and the coast, residential blocks within reach of both the river and the beach. It catches the salt carrying wind common to the area, with warm dry summers. Decks and pergolas here are commonly built with durable or composite decking and corrosion resistant fixings, chosen to handle the coastal exposure of this part of Goolwa.
Between the township and the coast, Goolwa South homes commonly gain a deck or pergola, and these are assessed under South Australia's Planning and Design Code. Development approval is commonly required for these, although smaller low set structures may be exempt. Alexandrina Council is the local planning authority for Goolwa South, and you lodge applications through the state PlanSA system. We are happy to help you work out what applies to your project.
