A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Point Sturt.
Point Sturt is about 17 km east of Goolwa and about 71 km south-east of Adelaide, with Lake Alexandrina to the north and east, Hindmarsh and Mundoo islands to the south, Clayton Bay to the west and Milang to the north-west. The point was named in December 1837 by an exploring party led by Thomas Bewes Strangways and Young Bingham Hutchinson. Each Australia Day long weekend the Milang to Goolwa Freshwater Classic yacht race sails around it.
Point Sturt sits on the Sturt Peninsula on the western side of Lake Alexandrina, with views across the lake to Raukkan. The peninsula is made up of a sand dune capped with limestone, and the land is largely rural living holdings and grazing country. With water on several sides, blocks are generally open to the wind, and sandy or limestone ground is commonly taken into account when planning deck and pergola footings.
On the Sturt Peninsula, a deck or pergola on an exposed rural block is assessed under South Australia's Planning and Design Code. While many decks, verandahs and pergolas need development approval, some smaller low set ones are exempt. Alexandrina Council acts as the local planning authority, and applications are lodged through PlanSA, the state system. If you are unsure what your build involves, we are glad to help sort it out.
