BURNSIDE COUNCIL16_0041web.jpg

The City of Burnside Development Compliance and Building Compliance Officers are responsible for a wide variety of development matters and building safety issues. Their roles are to ensure compliance with the South Australian Development Act 1993, Development Regulations 2008, Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 and General Regulations 2017. This includes the following:

  • building work and development (including changes of land use) that are undertaken without approval
  • building work and development that is constructed or undertaken, which is inconsistent with the relevant development approval
  • building work and development that has not been undertaken in accordance with any conditions of consent as set out in the relevant development approval.

Council's Enforcement Policy(PDF, 155KB) provides guidance on what will and will not be investigated and the level of action that may be taken.  Enforcement action may range from negotiated outcomes, warning letters, expiations, penalty notices and in the most significant cases, criminal prosecutions.

For all complaints in relation to the above mentioned, please contact 8366 4200 or fill out the below form.
