After development approval is granted, the Decision Notification Form (DNF) lists the mandatory building notifications to be submitted and timeframes that they are required to be submitted within.
Applicants and/or builders submitting the mandatory building notifications to Council, during the construction of the building or building works, can do so by selecting the Submit Mandatory building notification option via the Your Applications dashboard on the PlanSA portal.
The same option enables applicants and builders to view building notifications that have already been submitted.
• Submit a building notification
• Upload further documentation associated with a building/building work notification.
Councils can view and action building notification and arrange for Building Inspections to be undertaken in accordance with Practice Direction 9 under the Planning Development and Infrastructure Act 2016.
On completing an inspection, a record of that inspection will be accurately recorded within the Plan SA portal. If Council decides that rectifications are required, an email or letter is sent to the builder/owner builder who submitted the ‘original’ building notification.
When the final building notification ‘Building Work Completed’ is submitted, following an inspection by Council (as applicable), you can then apply for the Certificate of Occupancy (CoO).
