Council invites comment from the community on Amendment 13 to the Ku-ring-gai Development Control Plan (KDCP). This amendment seeks to make the KDCP consistent with, and applicable to, development introduced by the recent NSW government low and mid-rise housing reforms.
The recent NSW Government Low and Mid-rise (LMR) and Transport Orientated Development (TOD) housing reforms have resulted in overriding amendments to the Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan 2015 (KLEP) via the State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021.
The reforms now enable certain development types in zones where those typologies were previously not permitted under the KLEP 2015. The proposed KDCP amendment ensures its application to all typologies regardless of the land zoning.
The KDCP amendment and supporting material will be on public exhibition from Friday 19 June 2026 to Thursday 16 July 2026.
