Permits and City of Unley rules
Whether a roof job here needs approval is for the council to confirm: the State's guide lists re-roofing among the work that typically needs development approval at a State Heritage Place or Area, and routine maintenance among the work that does not.

Slate Roofing around Parkside
The study says: "A single storey bluestone residence, constructed in 1870, with a hipped slate roof and prominent cornice detail to the eaves." It is a description of one house at survey time. It does not say that any particular house is a heritage place today or has a slate roof now.
A hipped slate roof with a cornice at the eaves is a detail a slater has to work around, so mention it to the provider if your own house has one. Ask the council whether the property is a heritage place.
