Planning controls applying

General Neighbourhood Zone (GN)

Desired Outcome (DO 1): "Low-rise, low and medium-density housing that supports a range of needs and lifestyles located within easy reach of services and facilities. Employment and community service uses contribute to making the neighbourhood a convenient place to live without compromising residential amenity."

The zone contemplates a mix of residential dwellings (detached, semi-detached, row, group dwellings, residential flat buildings) and small-scale complementary uses (shops, offices, community facilities, ancillary accommodation). Development is predominantly low-rise and low to medium density, with the greatest intensity near public open space and transport nodes.

Key Performance Outcomes and DTS/DPF Criteria:

Control	Criterion	Requirement
Land Use	PO 1.1, DTS/DPF 1.1	Residential use (dwelling) or a small-scale complementary use meeting the specified definitions in DTS/DPF 1.1
Site Area & Frontage (Single Dwelling)	PO 2.1, DTS/DPF 2.1	Minimum site area: 300 m² (exclusive of battle-axe handle); Minimum frontage: 9 m (not on a battle-axe site) or 5 m (on a battle-axe site)
Site Coverage	PO 3.1, DTS/DPF 3.1	Building footprint not exceeding 60% of site area
Building Height	PO 4.1, DTS/DPF 4.1	2 building levels maximum; 9 m maximum (excluding garages, carports, outbuildings); wall height ≤7 m (excluding gable)
Primary Street Setback	PO 5.1, DTS/DPF 5.1	Setback determined by the average of abutting buildings minus 1 m, or 5 m if no abutting buildings; exact figure depends on context and survey
Secondary Street Setback	PO 6.1, DTS/DPF 6.1	Setback ≥900 mm or the distance of an existing building on an adjacent property, whichever is greater
Side Boundary Wall	PO 8.1, DTS/DPF 8.1	Where wall height ≤3 m: setback ≥900 mm; where wall height >3 m and south-facing: setback ≥1.9 m + 1/3 of excess height above 3 m from footing
Rear Boundary Wall	PO 9.1, DTS/DPF 9.1	Where wall height ≤3 m: setback ≥900 mm; where wall height >3 m and south-facing: setback ≥1.9 m + 1/3 of excess height above 3 m from footing
Ancillary Buildings	PO 11.1, DTS/DPF 11.1	Floor area ≤60 m² (site ≤500 m²) or ≤80 m² (site >500 m²); wall height ≤3 m; positioned behind building line and away from street frontage
Private Open Space	PO 17.1, DTS/DPF 17.1	Ground-level dwelling: minimum 24 m² (≥3 m dimension, directly accessible from a living room) per Design in Urban Areas Table 1
Car Parking	PO 19.1–19.6	Residential dwelling: 1 space required per Transport, Access and Parking Table 1 (to be confirmed for the locality); setback ≥5.5 m from primary street boundary; width 3.0–3.2 m

Airport Building Heights (Regulated) Overlay

Desired Outcome (DO 1): "Management of potential impacts of buildings and generated emissions to maintain operational and safety requirements of registered and certified commercial and military airfields, airports, airstrips and helicopter landing sites." Qualifier: "All structures over 15 metres" — this overlay applies only to buildings that exceed 15 metres in height. Key Control:

Control	Criterion	Requirement
Building Height	PO 1.1, DTS/DPF 1.1	Buildings >15 m in height must not exceed the height specified in the Airport Building Heights (Regulated) Overlay boundary on the SA Property and Planning Atlas. The lowest applicable height value applies where the site falls within multiple overlay zones.

Practical effect: A single dwelling (2 storeys, ≤9 m per GN zone DTS/DPF 4.1) does not trigger this overlay — it falls entirely within the "All structures" zone (no height limit applies to structures ≤15 m). The overlay is not engaged for a standard residential dwelling.

---

Prescribed Wells Area Overlay

Desired Outcome (DO 1): "Sustainable water use in prescribed wells areas." Key Control:

Control	Criterion	Requirement
Water Supply	PO 1.1, DTS/DPF 1.1	Development must have a lawful, sustainable and reliable water supply that does not place undue strain on water resources in the prescribed wells area.

Practical effect for a single dwelling: A dwelling connected to mains water supply (City of West Torrens reticulation) will satisfy DTS/DPF 1.1 (sustainable and reliable supply via the reticulated system). No additional specialist report required if mains water is available. If on-site bores or alternative water sources are proposed, engagement with the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) is advisable to confirm the proposal does not breach the overlay's intent.

---

Regulated and Significant Tree Overlay

Desired Outcome (DO 1): "Conservation of regulated and significant trees to provide aesthetic and environmental benefits and mitigate tree loss." Key Controls:

Control	Criterion	Requirement
Tree Retention	PO 1.1, DTS/DPF 1.1; PO 1.2, DTS/DPF 1.2	Regulated trees (listed on council's register or meeting Code DBH thresholds: typically ≥200 mm diameter at breast height) and Significant trees (heritage / ecological value) must be retained where they contribute to the character of the area and do not impede development. DTS/DPF criteria are not specified — assessment defaults to Performance Outcome merit.
Tree-Damaging Activity	PO 1.3, PO 1.4, DTS/DPF 1.3, DTS/DPF 1.4	Removal, lopping, pruning, root damage, or excavation within the Tree Protection Zone (typically 5–10 m radius) requires consent. DTS/DPF criteria are not specified — assessment defaults to Performance Outcome merit.
Groundwork Near Trees	PO 2.1, DTS/DPF 2.1	Excavation or filling within the vicinity of regulated/significant trees must not unduly compromise the tree's root system. DTS/DPF not specified — Performance Outcome merit assessment applies.

Practical effect for this property: An arborist's assessment is required at pre-lodgement to confirm whether regulated or significant trees are present on the site or within the Tree Protection Zone. If trees are identified, removal or damage may be refused unless justified by site constraints (e.g., disease, safety hazard, structural conflict). If trees will be retained, the dwelling design must accommodate the Tree Protection Zone (typically no excavation, sealed surfaces, or building within 5–10 m radius of the tree base).

The following Part 4 provisions also apply to all development, including a single dwelling:

Control	Criterion	Key Requirement
Private Open Space	Design in Urban Areas Table 1	Ground-level dwelling: 24 m² minimum with ≥3 m minimum dimension, directly accessible from a living room (applies to single dwelling)
Decks (if proposed)	PO 33.1–33.3, DTS/DPF 33.1–33.3	Decks ≤900 mm set back from side/rear boundaries; ≥2 m from residential boundaries; ≤25 m² floor area; ≤1 m above natural ground level (unless residential use with screening)
Car Parking	Transport, Access and Parking Table 1	1 space required for a dwelling; 5.4 m minimum length, 3.0 m minimum width (enclosed) or 2.4 m width (uncovered)

---

Development capacity

Single Detached Dwelling

Zoning permit: ✓ Yes — a single dwelling is the primary use in the General Neighbourhood Zone (PO 1.1, DTS/DPF 1.1). Site requirements (DTS/DPF 2.1):

Minimum site area: 300 m² (the actual measured site area must be confirmed by title/survey)
Minimum frontage: 9 m (measured at the street boundary; if the site is a battle-axe allotment, minimum 5 m applies to the battle-axe "handle")

Built-form envelope (DTS/DPF):

Height: 2 storeys, maximum 9 m (9 m measured from natural ground level to the highest point of the roof, excluding guttering; gable ends and wall height capped at 7 m)
Site coverage: Maximum 60% (DTS/DPF 3.1)
Primary street setback: Determined by abutting buildings (average minus 1 m) or 5 m if no abutting context (DTS/DPF 5.1) — survey of neighbouring setbacks required
Secondary street setback: ≥900 mm or match existing neighbour (DTS/DPF 6.1)
Side boundary: ≥900 mm (if wall ≤3 m) or 1.9 m + 1/3 excess (if south-facing and >3 m)
Rear boundary: ≥900 mm (if ≤3 m) or 1.9 m + 1/3 excess (if south-facing and >3 m) — note: site >301 m² requires 4 m ground-floor setback, 6 m upper-level (DTS/DPF 8.1)
Private open space: Minimum 24 m² directly accessible from living room with ≥3 m dimension
Ancillary buildings: Maximum 80 m² (site >500 m²) or 60 m² (site ≤500 m²), wall height ≤3 m, setback ≥5.5 m from primary street

Assessment pathway:

If the dwelling complies with all DTS/DPF criteria: Deemed-to-Satisfy (Code Assessed) — no consent required; council must approve if application is complete. No public notification.
If the dwelling departs from any DTS/DPF criterion (e.g., exceeds 9 m height, <900 mm side setback, <24 m² private open space): Code Assessed — Performance Assessed — merit-based assessment against Performance Outcomes (PO 4.1, PO 8.1, PO 17.1, etc.); public notification typical; refusal possible.

Airport overlay impact: Not engaged (single dwelling ≤9 m, well below 15 m threshold). Prescribed Wells Area overlay: No material impact if mains water connected (DTS/DPF 1.1 satisfied). Significant Tree overlay: Must assess at pre-lodgement. If trees present, removal will likely be Performance Assessed; retention is preferred (PO 1.1, PO 1.2).

Dual Occupancy / Semi-Detached Dwellings

Zoning permit: ✓ Yes — semi-detached dwellings are listed in DTS/DPF 1.1. Additional site requirements (DTS/DPF 2.1):

Minimum site area per dwelling: 300 m² (total minimum 600 m² for two units on one allotment)
Minimum frontage: 9 m (total frontage requirement depends on subdivision context)

Built-form: Same height, coverage, and setback rules apply as single dwelling. Assessment pathway: Code Assessed — Deemed-to-Satisfy or Performance Assessed (depending on DTS/DPF compliance). Realistic capacity: A 600–800 m² site can accommodate dual occupancy if compliance with DTS/DPF is met (height, coverage, setbacks, private open space per unit).

Row Dwellings / Terrace Houses

Zoning permit: ✓ Yes — row dwellings are listed in DTS/DPF 1.1. Site requirements (DTS/DPF 2.1):

Minimum site area per dwelling: 250 m²
Minimum frontage: 7 m averaged across the row

Built-form: Same height and coverage rules; shared side boundaries typically have 900 mm setback or abutting wall (DTS/DPF 7.2 — side boundary walls in semi-detached, row, or terrace arrangements set back ≥900 mm from boundaries outside the development site). Assessment pathway: Code Assessed — Deemed-to-Satisfy or Performance Assessed (depending on compliance). Realistic capacity: A 500–600 m² site can accommodate 2–3 row dwellings if DTS/DPF criteria met.

Group Dwellings / Residential Flat Buildings

Zoning permit: ✓ Yes — group dwellings and residential flat buildings are listed in DTS/DPF 1.1. Site requirements (DTS/DPF 2.1):

Minimum site area: 300 m² average (including common areas)
Minimum frontage: 15 m total

Built-form: Same height (9 m) and coverage (60%) rules; private open space per Design in Urban Areas Table 1 (studio/1 bed: 4–8 m²; 2 bed: 11 m²; 3+ bed: 15 m²); communal open space per Table 2 (25 m² + 4 m² per dwelling above 5, up to 250 m² total). Assessment pathway: Code Assessed — Performance Assessed (group dwellings and flats typically depart from single-dwelling DTS/DPF norms around private open space, parking, and common-area design; merit-based assessment of POs 17.1, 22.1–22.10, 23.1–23.8 required). Realistic capacity: A 600–800 m² site can accommodate 2–3 units as a group dwelling if common open space, parking, and amenity standards are met.

Recommended next steps

1. Pre-Lodgement Meeting with City of West Torrens

Action: Contact the City of West Torrens Planning Department to arrange a free pre-lodgement meeting. Bring:

Title deed and survey (if available).
Preliminary sketch plan of the proposed dwelling (orientation, setbacks, height, private open space).
Photos of the site and neighbouring dwellings.

Outcome: Confirm:

Site dimensions and assumed DTS/DPF compliance (300 m² minimum, 9 m frontage).
Street-setback context (existing abutting buildings' setbacks; whether 5 m default applies).
Tree-register check (council will confirm if regulated/significant trees are listed on or near the property).
Whether the subject site is state-maintained (DIT referral required?).
Whether the site is in a Concept Plan boundary (unlikely, but DTS/DPF 10.1 requires checking Part 12).

2. Commission an Arborist Assessment (if Trees Present)

Action: Engage an arborist to:

Inspect the site and identify any regulated trees (≥200 mm DBH or on council's register) and significant trees (heritage value).
Measure tree height, branch spread, health condition.
Determine Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) — typically 5–10 m radius from tree base.
Advise on retention feasibility and building setbacks/design modifications needed to protect trees.
Provide a written Arborist Report for the development application.

Outcome: Confirm that:

No regulated/significant trees will be harmed, OR
Trees will be retained with design modifications (e.g., increased setbacks, modified driveway routing), OR
Tree removal is justified (disease, safety hazard, site constraints) and will be Performance Assessed against PO 1.1–1.4.

Cost: $500–$1,200. Timeline: 2–3 weeks.

3. Commission a Detailed Site Survey

Action: Engage a surveyor to:

Confirm site area (in m²), frontage length (to nearest 0.1 m).
Measure existing ground slopes (gradient %).
Locate boundaries precisely; identify any easements or encroachments.
Measure existing buildings on abutting sites and their setbacks from the street (to calculate DTS/DPF 5.1 primary street setback).

Outcome: Confirm that:

Site area ≥300 m² ✓
Frontage ≥9 m ✓
Slope is flat or <1 in 8 (no earthworks constraints) ✓
Primary street setback can be determined (average of abutting buildings minus 1 m, or 5 m if no abutting context).

Cost: $1,500–$2,500. Timeline: 1–2 weeks.

4. Engage an Architect/Designer

Action: Prepare preliminary design sketches and then final architectural plans showing:

Site plan (scale 1:100 or 1:200) with boundary, setbacks, driveway, private open space, ancillary buildings (if any), existing trees.
Floor plans (ground and upper level) with room dimensions, living-room location, private open space dimensions and access, car parking location.
Elevations (front, rear, side) showing height (measured from natural ground level), wall height, gable end, materials, colours.
Sections through the site (if sloping) showing ground levels, finished floor level (FFL), height measurement point.
Schedule of materials (roof, walls, fencing, driveway surface).

DTS/DPF Compliance Schedule: Prepare a table (as shown in _sa-common/conditions_library.md) matching each DTS/DPF criterion to the proposal:

P&D Code Requirement	Proposed	Complies?
Site area ≥300 m²	[actual area]	Yes/No
Frontage ≥9 m	[actual frontage]	Yes/No
Height ≤9 m	[roof height in m]	Yes/No
Coverage ≤60%	[footprint % of site]	Yes/No
Primary street setback	[distance in m]	Yes/No
Side setback ≥900 mm	[distance in m]	Yes/No
Rear setback ≥900 mm (≤3 m wall) or 1.9 m + 1/3 excess (>3 m south-facing wall)	[distance in m]	Yes/No
Private open space ≥24 m² with ≥3 m dimension	[area in m², dimension in m]	Yes/No
Car parking 1 space, 3.0–3.2 m width, 5.5 m setback from primary street	[setback in m, width in m]	Yes/No
Ancillary buildings ≤80 m² (site >500 m²), wall height ≤3 m	[area in m², height in m]	Yes/No

Cost: $2,000–$5,000 (architect) or free (owner designer, subject to council's Acceptable Design approach — check with council first). Timeline: 4–6 weeks (iterative process with arborist/surveyor feedback).

5. Prepare Development Application (DA)

Action: Lodge a complete application to City of West Torrens via the PlanSA portal, including:

Completed DA form (application for Planning Consent).
Title deed + plan of allotment.
Site survey (scaled, dimensions, boundaries).
Architectural plans (site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, materials schedule).
Arborist report (if trees present).
DTS/DPF compliance schedule (showing which criteria are met).
Certificate of title (current).
Owner's declaration and authorisation.

Outcome: Council issues a "deemed to be received" notification (s 108 PDI Act) on day 1 of lodgement. Timeline: Application processing begins day 1 of receipt (application fee typically $500–$800 for a dwelling; varies by council).
