Comprehensive Review of Wollondilly Development Control Plan 2016

Early Engagement on the Wollondilly DCP Review

Wollondilly Shire Council is seeking feedback on the Wollondilly DCP 2016 prior to undertaking its comprehensive review.

Council is seeking feedback from planners, architects, developers, builders and others who use the Wollondilly Development Control Plan (DCP) 2016, or who have an interest in the outcomes of the DCP.

What is a Development Control Plan (DCP)?

A DCP is a document containing detailed objectives and controls for development, which are used to guide the assessment of Development Applications.

The Wollondilly DCP 2016 applies to land covered by the Wollondilly Local Environmental Plan 2011 (LEP). The LEP specifies land use zones, permissible and prohibited uses, and certain requirements such as height of buildings and lot sizes for subdivision. The DCP contains detailed controls for a range of development types which are permissible under the LEP, such as industrial, residential and commercial development.

The DCP specifies detailed requirements for these uses, such as car parking numbers, landscaping, building design and separation distance (e.g. setback) requirements.

Comprehensive Review of Wollondilly DCP 2016

The review of the Wollondilly DCP 2016 does not apply to DCPs relating to the Wilton or Greater Macarthur Growth Areas, as these growth areas are not within the Wollondilly Local Environmental Plan 2011.

Feedback received from the questionnaire will guide the development of a new Wollondilly DCP, which will contain new and revised objectives and controls.

Council is seeking feedback on aspects of the Wollondilly DCP 2016 which need improvement (e.g. controls which are frequently varied, or where there are gaps in controls), areas which should be retained for the new DCP (e.g. aspects which work well or are useful), and the structure of the DCP.

A Draft Wollondilly DCP will be prepared and will undergo further engagement in accordance with the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979.
