A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Parawa.
Parawa is a ridge top locality about 16 km south of Yankalilla and roughly 30 km west of Victor Harbor by road. It adjoins Hay Flat, Torrens Vale, Willow Creek, Waitpinga, Tunkalilla, Deep Creek, Delamere and Second Valley. The name Parawa was approved for this area by the state Nomenclature Committee in 1948, and the locality's boundaries were set in 1999. The 2016 census counted 79 residents.
Parawa sits on the ridge of the Mount Lofty Ranges in the southern Fleurieu, with Range Road running east to west along the ridgeline and Waitpinga Conservation Park on part of its southern boundary. The Bureau of Meteorology's Parawa weather station sits at about 340 metres and records more than 800 mm of rain in an average year. Most of the land is used for primary production, and the open ridge country is typically cool, damp and exposed to wind. Decks and pergolas here are commonly built with well sealed durable timber or composite decking, good drainage underneath and firm bracing to suit the higher, wetter conditions.
Up on the Parawa ridge, a deck or pergola built for cooler, wetter and windier conditions is assessed under South Australia's Planning and Design Code. Many of these projects need development approval, while smaller low set ones can be exempt. The District Council of Yankalilla is the local planning authority, and applications are lodged through the state PlanSA system. We are happy to help work through what your project needs before you start.
