If your property sits on or near this land (within 6 metres of it), you can't just build whatever you want. You need **special permission** from the Commissioner of Highways first. These regulations create the **official form** you must fill out to ask for that permission.\n\n**Key things to know:**\n\n- The form asks for standard details: who you are, exactly where the land is, what you want to build, and how much it will cost\n- You must submit **three copies** of your site plan plus proof that your development has been approved under planning laws\n- Without this consent, your building work would breach the main Act (the *Metropolitan Adelaide Road Widening Plan Act 1972*)\n- These 2014 regulations **replace** the 2003 version (Schedule 2 revokes the old rules)\n\nIn short: if you're building near a planned future road in Adelaide, this is the form that stands between you and your construction site."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
