Planning Drawings for Rural Settlement Dwelling

Planning Drawing Package – Rural Settlement (South Australia)

Location: Port Rickaby, South Australia
Council: Yorke Peninsula Council
All drawings required at 1:200 scale

Project Overview

I require a planning-level drawing package for:
- A proposed detached dwelling
- A proposed detached shed (shed drawings already completed and will be supplied)
- The property is located within the Rural Settlement Zone under the SA Planning and Design Code.

Important site conditions:

No mains water – rainwater tanks required
No mains sewer – on-site wastewater system required
Minimum finished ground and floor levels required (AHD)
Council has requested dwelling documentation to demonstrate the subordination of the shed
This is a planning compliance package, not construction documentation.

What I Will Provide
- Detailed shed plans (floor plan & elevations)
- Certificate of Title
- Site information
- Council correspondence
- Zoning / overlay details

You are not required to redesign the shed — only to incorporate it into a compliant site plan and demonstrate proper relationship to the dwelling.

Experience Required (Essential)

Applicants must:

- Have experience preparing drawings for Australian planning applications
- Understand SA Planning and Design Code
- Understand ancillary building subordination requirements
- Be comfortable working with AHD finished floor levels
- Understand on-site wastewater planning layout

If you do not have relevant Australian planning experience, please do not apply.
