The City of West Torrens continues to receive and process Development Applications and associated documentation. We still prefer electronic documents via development@wtcc.sa.gov.au but hard copy paper documents can be accepted at the Civic Centre if emailing documents is not an option.

We now have staff assisting development queries at the Civic Centre Development Desk, 165 Sir Donald Bradman Drive, Hilton. Should you need to meet face to face in relation to a current development application, we can make a time available by appointment. Please contact the relevant planning or building officer. Your understanding is much appreciated.

For general enquiries, we have a Duty Planning Officer or Duty Building Officer available at any time on 8416 6333 or via email, development@wtcc.sa.gov.au.
