Submit a development application

How to lodge an application

All development applications must now be lodged online through the PlanSA Portal. You may also lodge your application through the PlanSA Portal from the Planning Kiosk at the Nuriootpa Council Office, where Council staff will be available to assist if required.

The new planning system's assessment pathways enable better assessment processes for development applications. To understand a development application's journey through the approval process view the Assessment Pathway in the PlanSA Portal. We recommend before starting any development that you discuss your intentions with Council's Development Services to work with you and explain what is permissible under the Planning and Design Code.

All development applications incur fees prescribed under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure (Fees, Charges and Contributions) Regulations 2019. The fees that will be payable for your application depend on what you are proposing, where it's located, which consents apply and when you lodge.

Please note your proposal may be required to undergo public notification, in which a $360 fee shall be required. This will be determined during the assessment process. Where a referral applies to a statutory agency such as the EPA or Department of Transport, a further fee will be payable.

For information on which fees may apply to you visit the Application Fees in the PlanSA Portal.
