Ku-ring-gai Development Control Plan housekeeping review

About the project

The Ku-ring-gai Development Control Plan (DCP):

• Is a guideline document that facilitates development by providing objectives and controls for all development that requires development consent under Part 4 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979; and
• Gives effect to the aims and land use objectives of the statutory Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan 2015 (KLEP 2015), which governs planning within the Ku-ring-gai local government area.

The current review has been triggered by changes to planning legislation and State policy. It seeks to correct inconsistencies and improve the document’s clarity and alignment with other Council policies and practices.

The amendments to the Ku-ring-gai Development Control Plan and supporting information will be on public exhibition for 40 days:

Tuesday 27 June to Monday 07 August 2023.
