Planning & building

See the latest DA advertising for Flinders Island.

As part of the Draft Planning Scheme process, and Council’s ongoing efforts to support enterprise development, the State Government Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) and Flinders Council have partnered to deliver an Enterprise Suitability Mapping Project.

‘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. Zone maps are available from Council’s Planning Scheme webpage. To find out your properties current zoning and overlays, contact the Development Services Department at Flinders Council and quote your property ID number.
