A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Sellicks Beach.
Sellicks Beach is an outer southern suburb about 47 km from the Adelaide city centre, at the southern boundary of the metropolitan area. It runs from Button Road in the north, where it meets Aldinga Beach, south to the edge of the Hundred of Willunga, with Main South Road on its eastern side and Sellicks Hill beyond. The name comes from the 1925 Sellicks Beach Estate subdivision, and organised motorcycle racing on the sand dates back to 1917. Its Kaurna name is Witawali, a Tjilbruke spring site.
Sellicks Beach sits at the southern end of the Aldinga Bay coastline, where the Willunga Fault escarpment rises behind the town and meets the coast. The town faces straight onto Gulf St Vincent, so blocks commonly take the full force of onshore wind and salt air. Decks and pergolas here are generally built with durable or composite decking and corrosion resistant fixings, and ground that rises toward the escarpment often suits a deck designed to work with the fall of the block.
Under South Australia's Planning and Design Code, a deck stepping down the fall of a Sellicks Beach block, or a pergola facing the open gulf, is assessed like any other. Development approval is needed for many of these structures, though smaller low set ones can be exempt. The City of Onkaparinga is the local planning authority, and applications are made through the state PlanSA system. Before you lock in a design, we can help you check what it is likely to need.
