Before construction begins, ALL projects require Planning Consent (approval in principal) to confirm that the proposed development complies with the relevant planning policies and regulations.

Planning Consent assesses factors such as:
📍 Land use
📐 Building design
🏡 Site layout
🚗 Access and parking
🌳 Environmental and neighbourhood impacts

Receiving Planning Consent doesn't always mean you're ready to build. Depending on your project, you may also need Building Rule Consent (BRC), Development Approval (DA) and any other required approvals before construction can begin.

Understanding the approval pathway early can save valuable time and help avoid unexpected delays.

If you’re considering dual occupancy in Adelaide, understanding the approval pathway before you start spending on designs can save a lot of back-and-forth later.

Simply put, site coverage refers to the portion of your property that can be covered by the building footprint.

For example:
If you have a 500m² site and the applicable planning controls allow 50% site coverage, the building footprint could cover up to 250m² of the site.

But the permitted percentage can vary — often around 50–60%, depending on the council and planning controls governing the property.

Site coverage can directly influence:
📐 Building footprint
🌿 Open & landscaped areas
🏡 Your development potential
📋 Design & planning decisions

That’s why understanding the planning controls before you design or invest can save you time, money and costly redesigns.

💬 Which planning term should we decode next?

Everyone thinks they need an architect first. Or a builder. Or a bigger budget.
What you actually need first is someone who can tell you if the whole thing even makes sense.

That's a project manager.

DM ""PM"" and Samp Consulting will walk you through what to check before you start.

Before you buy a development property, be careful with the word “should.” 👀
It should be developable.
The numbers should work.
Approval should be easy.
But “should” isn’t a feasibility assessment.

Would you buy a property based on someone’s word or the numbers and planning evidence?
Save this for your next property search. 📌

An encumbrance is a legal restriction registered on your property's title that may affect how you can use, develop, or build on your land.
It can include:
📌 Easements
📌 Covenants
📌 Rights of way
📌 Agreements or other legal obligations

These restrictions can influence:
✔️ Where you can build
✔️ What you can build
✔️ Whether your design needs to change
✔️ Your property's development potential

Many buyers don't discover an encumbrance until they're ready to start building when changing plans becomes expensive.

That's why reviewing your property's title should be one of the first steps before planning any development.

At Samp Consulting, we help identify these restrictions early, so you can make informed decisions before they become costly surprises.

The reality is that a granny flat isn't just a construction project—it's a planning and compliance project too.

Before building, it's important to understand:
✔️ Zoning requirements
✔️ Council approvals
✔️ Site constraints
✔️ Development controls
Because fixing a mistake after construction is almost always more expensive than getting it right from the start.

💬 What's the first thing you would check before building a granny flat?

A property can look perfect on inspection and still come with costly surprises.

Before you commit, make sure you've looked beyond the price, location, and finishes. Zoning, easements, unapproved structures, environmental constraints, and planning controls can all affect what you can do with the property in the future.
A little due diligence today can save you significant time, money, and stress tomorrow.
