As of the 19 March 2021 all development and building applications must be lodged through the online PlanSA Portal.
This new system is fully electronic, providing online development assessment and processing via a modern ePlanning platform.
Everyone living / working or proposing development within the Rural City of Murray Bridge can submit and track development applications from the comfort of their home, office of whilst on the go using their computer or mobile.
