We now have staff assisting with general development enquiries 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 Planning Officer or Building Officer available at any time on 8416 6333 or via email at development@wtcc.sa.gov.au.
