A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Salt Creek.
Salt Creek is a small settlement on the Coorong, about 58 km south-east of Meningie and 86 km north-west of Kingston SE, and home to the Coorong National Park Information Centre. It adjoins Coorong, Colebatch, Deepwater and Tilley Swamp, and takes its name from a stream that flows through the locality into the Coorong. A replica oil rig recalls the 1892 drilling venture prompted by coorongite, a substance later found to come from algae rather than oil.
Salt Creek is a small, remote settlement strung along the Coorong on the Princes Highway, between the lagoon and the coastal dunes. It is a highly exposed setting, with strong wind and salt coming off the Coorong and the nearby Southern Ocean. Decks and pergolas here need durable or composite decking, marine grade fixings and robust wind bracing to handle the constant exposure.
Even in a remote Coorong setting like Salt Creek, a deck or pergola is assessed under South Australia's Planning and Design Code. Many such projects need development approval, while smaller low set ones can be exempt. Coorong District Council is the local planning authority, and applications are lodged through the state PlanSA system. Get in touch and we are happy to help work out what your project needs.
