Paid SA planning report

South Australian Planning Report

A plain-English read on what you can build on any South Australian property — grounded in the gazetted Planning and Design Code (Version 2026.8, 30 April 2026). We pull the Code's Performance Outcomes and Deemed-to-Satisfy criteria for every zone, subzone and overlay applying to your property, and Claude Opus synthesises a property-specific report.

Two-step flow — look up your address in SAPPA (the free SA Government planning atlas), paste the result back here, and we generate the report.

How it works

1
Open SAPPA — the South Australian Property and Planning Atlas at sappa.plan.sa.gov.au. Search for your property by address, plan/parcel, or title number.
2
Click “Planning Zones & Overlays” in the left-hand panel once your property is selected. A popup appears listing your title, valuation, lot, zone and overlays.
3
Select all the text in the popup (Ctrl+A inside it on Windows, Cmd+A on Mac), copy (Ctrl/Cmd+C), and paste into the box above. We'll parse it, look up the Code text for each control, and generate the report.

What you get

Property at a glance — title, lot, valuation and the zone(s) and overlays applying.
Planning controls applying — plain-English summary of the Desired Outcomes and the specific Performance Outcomes (height, setback, site coverage, density, frontage) that govern development on your property. Cross-references the overlays and the Code provisions they trigger.
Development capacity — what can realistically be built here. Dwelling yield by typology (single dwelling, dual occupancy, row dwellings, group dwelling, residential flat) where the zone permits them. Plus the assessment pathway that'll apply (accepted, deemed-to-satisfy, performance assessed, or restricted).
Recommended next steps — what to do next, specialist reports likely required, when to engage a planner, references to the specific Code provisions to read in full.

Disclaimer: The analysis is generated by AI from the gazetted SA Planning and Design Code and the SAPPA-confirmed planning controls on your property. It's a planning-context document, not a planning certificate — for assessment of a specific proposal or for development applications, engage a consultant planner. We surface every Code section we pulled so you can verify the analysis is grounded in the actual gazetted text.
