Amendment Queanbeyan Development Control Plan 2012

We have prepared an amendment to the Queanbeyan Development Control Plan (QDCP) 2012. The QDCP 2012 was authorised in December 2012. In order to keep the document current, regular reviews are undertaken. As a result a number of amendments have been made, these updates are to:

• Address a number of drafting errors and to update references to various legislation and policies;
• Improve the readability of the plan in various sections;
• Remove unnecessary provisions where these are already covered by other legislation and policies;
• Simplify provisions in respect of Safe Design as set out in Section 2.9 of the DCP;
• Include new provisions in respect of clearing of vegetation to reflect the recent introduction of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 in NSW as set out in Section 2.12 of the DCP;
• Redraft and clarify provisions relating to the fencing of multi-unit developments, including requirements for fences/walls constructed to enclose primary private open space within those developments;
• Clarify provisions in respect of parking areas in front of dwellings as set out in Sections 3.5 and 3.6.11 of the DCP; and
• Include additional provisions in respect of building and shed heights as set out in Sections 5.5 and 5.12 of the DCP.
