A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Second Valley.
Second Valley is a small coastal settlement about 90 km south of Adelaide and about 16 km south-west of Normanville by road. Its name comes from being the next valley north of Rapid Bay, and the Parananacooka River, a name recorded by surveyors in about 1840, reaches the sea in its cove. The locality adjoins Wirrina Cove, Hay Flat, Parawa, Delamere and Rapid Bay, and the Ingalalla Waterfalls lie just inland in neighbouring Hay Flat. Its jetty and rocky coast make it a popular shore diving spot.
Second Valley is a small coastal spot on Gulf St Vincent, known for its jetty and the steep, rugged cliffs that frame the cove. It is a salt heavy, wind exposed setting, and many blocks sit on sloping or elevated ground above the water. Decks and pergolas here are commonly built with durable or composite decking and marine grade fixings, and the terrain often calls for a raised deck on properly engineered footings.
On the steep ground above the cove at Second Valley, a raised deck on engineered footings is a common project, and like verandahs and pergolas it is assessed under South Australia's Planning and Design Code. Approval is needed for many such projects, with some smaller low set ones being exempt. The District Council of Yankalilla is the local planning authority, with applications lodged through PlanSA. We can help you work out what your plans will need.
