Port Stephens Development Control Plan (DCP) 2007

Last modified: October 30, 2009 - 3:33 PM

The Port Stephens Development Control Plan 2007 was adopted by Port Stephens Council on Tuesday 22nd May 2007 and became effective on Thursday 31st May 2007.

The Port Stephens Development Control Plan 2007 (DCP) is a suite of documents that provides practical information to support development that retains and enhances the natural and cultural heritage values of Port Stephens local government area.

The DCP provides principles and controls for development that are site responsive, innovative and contribute to the character of each locality within the LGA. The DCP seeks to promote safe, lively and pleasant streets, to provide equity of access to all members of the community, and to promote more comfortable and sustainable living and working environments.

The DCP applies to all land zoned under the Port Stephens Local Environment Plan 2000 (LEP). It applies to development applications, applications to modify development consents under section 96 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (EPA) Act, 1979 and application for review of determination under section 82A of the Act.

The DCP supplements the provisions of Port Stephens LEP 2000. The provision of Port Stephens LEP 2000 prevail over the DCP.

The DCP is structured as follows:

Part A - Introduction- this section details where and when the DCP applies, provisions for contributions and procedures for applications, variation, notification and submissions.

Part B - Standards for Development- this section specifies the principles and controls for each type of development (such as residential, commercial or industrial development) and for a range of development issues (such as parking and environmental management).

A development proposal must comply with the controls outlined in the relevant sections for the type of development, for parking and traffic and for environmental management.

Part C - Local Controls- this section provides additional principles and controls for development in local areas that have particular development objectives related to commercial, tourism or services roles, heritage conservation, infrastructure, land release, built form or local character.

A development proposal within an area identified in Part C must comply with the Part C controls for that area in addition to Part B controls. Where there is any inconsistency, the Part C controls take precedence.

Part D - Glossary and References- a glossary of terms used in the DCP and a list of resource documents used in the compilation of the DCP.
