Stonequarry Floodplain Development Controls

Draft Amendments to the Wollondilly Development Control Plan (DCP) 2016

Council is inviting your feedback on Draft Development Controls for land within the Stonequarry Creek Flood Affected Area.

The proposed amendments to the DCP would introduce planning controls to help manage flood risk by guiding new development within the Stonequarry Creek Floodplain.

Appropriate flood planning controls will be crucial in assisting the Picton town centre and surrounding areas to be safer and more resilient as they are redeveloped over time.

The Wollondilly Development Control Plan (DCP) is a document which includes controls to guide development throughout the Shire, including controls for development on flood affected land.

The draft Stonequarry Floodplain controls have been prepared following the adoption of the Stonequarry Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan (Stonequarry FRMS&P) in June 2020.

The changes propose to implement the flood planning levels adopted in the Stonequarry Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study (2020), as well as introduce flood related controls for residential development, commercial, community and industrial land uses, changes of use, subdivision, parking and sensitive uses. The controls also seek to prevent certain types of development in areas of the floodplain that have greater flood constraints.
