Salt Damp Treatment in Adelaide
Where damp has worked into an older wall in the City of Adelaide, the council holds written specifications for treating it. Its heritage resources page says specifications for damp proof injection, salt damp management and undersetting, among others, are available upon request and can be used by tradespeople and owners during the Development Approval process.

Permits and City of Adelaide rules
Whether a salt damp job on a given building in the City of Adelaide needs Development Approval is for the council to say. It publishes the specifications and offers its Heritage Architects as the point of contact.

Salt Damp Treatment around Adelaide
The council's wording is that these specifications are for use during the Development Approval process, so a quote for a building the council treats as heritage can be written to the council's specification rather than a contractor's own. This is the council's service across its area and not a fact about one street: North Adelaide shares it. Ask the provider whether the quote follows a council specification, and which.
The council also recommends contacting its experienced Heritage Architects, who can provide the correct specification for each conservation project, as well as tailored advice about a particular building's needs. This page does not say whether any building needs approval: that is the council's to say.
