The North Sydey Development Control Plan (DCP) provides additional planning and design guidelines to support the aims and objectives of Council's Local Environmental Plan (LEP).
DCPs provide detailed controls and standards for addressing development issues at a local level and cover various development types, including residential, commercial and industrial.
The DCP provisions are not legally binding, however, Section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 requires the consent authority to take into consideration the relevant provisions of the DCP in determining a development application.
The NSDCP 2013 came into effect on 13 September 2013 and applies to all land to which North Sydey Local Environmental Plan 2013 applies.
On 22 September 2025, NSDCP 2013 will be repealed in its entirety and replaced with NSDCP 2025. Development Applications lodged, but not determined prior to the commencement of NSDCP 2025, will continue to be assessed under the provisions of NSDCP 2013.
