Consultation has concluded
Council resolved to exhibit draft housekeeping amendments to Bankstown DCP 2015 and Canterbury DCP 2012. Council is extending the exhibition to allow more people to comment.
The intended outcome of the draft changes to the DCPs is to continue to:
- Streamline the development assessment process by ensuring the DCPs are consistent with recent changes to the Environmental Planning Assessment Act 1979 and certain state environmental planning policies.
- Continue to deliver high quality development consistent with current best practice and market trends.
- Align some key controls from the Canterbury DCP with those in Bankstown DCP.
The key draft changes to the Bankstown DCP 2015 relate to:
