‘The journey from concept to Council approval’ examines the step-by-step process to understanding and following the planning and building process. In this section, we outline in detail the Flinders Council Development, Building and Plumbing Application processes.

Each parcel of land has what is known as a “zone”. Depending what “zone” your land is in determines what use and development standards you are required to meet. To find out the planning zone of your property you can find it on 'The LIST' or contact the Development Services Department at Council and quote your property address or PID number.
