Riverwood Estate Stage 1 – Site Specific Development Control Plan
Have your say on the draft Development Control Plan (DCP) for Stage 1 of the Riverwood Estate to support the future redevelopment of this precinct.
Consultation has concluded
The Canterbury-Bankstown Development Control Plan (DCP) 2023 is a planning document that supports the Canterbury-Bankstown Local Environmental Plan 2023. It includes objectives and development controls to enhance the function, appearance and amenity of development within the city. The DCP came into effect in June 2023 and applies to development applications and modification applications.
Council regularly reviews its planning rules to keep them up to date and easy to understand.
Current exhibition
The proposed changes mainly intend to fix issues that have come up since the new development controls for the Bankstown City Centre took effect in 2024.
The key changes to the Canterbury-Bankstown Development Control Plan 2023 (Chapter 6.2) propose to:
- set minimum lot widths for buildings taller than 50m in the Bankstown City Centre
- correct typos and remove duplicated controls.
The proposed changes will be on public exhibition from Monday 4 May - Friday 5 June 2026 online and in person at the Bankstown and Campsie Customer Service Centres from Monday-Friday, 10am-3pm (public holidays excepted).
