A deck or pergola has to suit where it is built. Here is the local context we factor in for projects in Vivonne Bay.
Vivonne Bay is a locality on the south coast of Kangaroo Island, adjoining Newland, Seddon, Seal Bay, Karatta and Stun'Sail Boom. Its coast runs from Cape Kersaint past Point Ellen to the bay itself, with the Harriet and Eleanor rivers flowing through the locality and the Little Sahara dune system near its eastern boundary. The South Coast Road passes through, and a jetty about 79 m long sits beside Point Ellen. The government town of Vivonne was proclaimed in 1909.
Vivonne Bay is a small settlement on the south coast of Kangaroo Island, about 55 kilometres south-west of Kingscote, where the Harriet River meets a long sandy bay facing the Southern Ocean. The surrounding country is largely farmland, with Vivonne Bay Conservation Park on the coast nearby. Being open to the Southern Ocean, the south coast is commonly more exposed to wind and salt than the island's northern shores, so decks and pergolas here are generally built with durable or composite decking, marine grade fixings and solid wind bracing. Its distance from Kingscote and the ferry means material deliveries need planning well ahead.
Out on the Southern Ocean coast at Vivonne Bay, a deck or pergola still falls under South Australia's Planning and Design Code. Many structures of this kind need development approval, but smaller low set ones can be exempt. Kangaroo Island Council is the local planning authority, and the application is lodged through the state PlanSA system. Given how remote the south coast is, we are happy to help you work out early what your project needs.
