A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Kingscote.
Kingscote is the largest town on Kangaroo Island, about 119 km south-west of Adelaide, and is the seat of the Kangaroo Island Council. It adjoins Cygnet River, Brownlow KI, Menzies and Wisanger. The South Australian Company landed settlers at Reeves Point on 27 July 1836, the colony's first official European settlement, and the heritage listed Hope Cottage museum stands north of the town. The foreshore has a wharf and jetty and a tidal swimming pool.
Kingscote is the main town on Kangaroo Island, on the sheltered shores of Nepean Bay. The island climate is coastal and salt influenced, with strong wind exposure on open sites. Building materials are shipped across from the mainland, so planning ahead and choosing durable products matters. Durable decking timber or composite boards with corrosion resistant fixings are sensible choices here.
Whether it is a deck off the back of a town house or a pergola looking over Nepean Bay, Kingscote projects are assessed under South Australia's Planning and Design Code. Many need development approval, though smaller low set structures can be exempt. The Kangaroo Island Council, based in Kingscote, is the local planning authority, and applications go in through the state PlanSA system. We are happy to help you work out what your project needs.
