Riversedge Building Group works across South Grafton and the wider Clarence Valley — Grafton, Junction Hill, Waterview Heights and the surrounding river settlements. We handle new home builds, renovations, extensions, carpentry and project management, with the same licensed builder who prices the job staying on it through to handover.

South Grafton sits on the south bank of the Clarence River, and the river shapes how you build here. Much of the town is shielded by the South Grafton levee, but low-lying fringes still sit within the flood-planning area, so floor levels and the choice between a slab and a raised floor come down to where your block sits. We confirm the flood-planning level for your specific lot before design, and we work under NSW Builder Licence 345758C across the Clarence Valley.

Clarence Valley Council planning for South Grafton

Residential work in South Grafton is assessed under the Clarence Valley Local Environmental Plan and Development Control Plan. The key local trigger is the Clarence River flood-planning level, which sets minimum habitable-floor heights on much of the lower-lying land, and character considerations apply in parts of the older town. We establish whether the work qualifies as Complying Development or needs a Development Application, and we read the flood mapping for the address before a contract is signed rather than at construction-certificate stage.

Building behind, and beyond, the levee

The South Grafton levee protects much of the town to a set height, but it does not remove the flood-planning controls — and blocks on the unprotected fringe near Southgate and the river flats carry higher floor-level requirements. We design the floor system to the level mapped for your block, whether that means a conventional slab-on-ground on protected higher land or a raised, suspended floor where the flood level demands it, so the build is resolved against the actual site.

Frequently Asked

Questions

Do I need to build up to a flood level in South Grafton?
It depends on where your block sits relative to the Clarence River and the South Grafton levee. Protected higher land may build conventionally, while lower fringes carry a flood-planning level that sets minimum floor height. We check the Clarence Valley Council flood mapping for your exact address before design so the requirement is built into the plans from the start.
Can you match the character of older South Grafton streets?
Yes. Parts of South Grafton carry heritage and character considerations, and we design renovations and extensions to sit comfortably with the existing streetscape while meeting current building standards. Where character controls apply, we resolve them at design stage so the approval pathway is clear.
