Print version

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).

It provides detailed controls and standards for addressing development issues at a local level and covers various development types, including residential, commercial and industrial.

While DCP provisions are not legally binding, 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.
