Consultation has concluded

Council has prepared an amendment to the Queanbeyan Development Control Plan (QDCP) 2012. Some of the main changes are:

  • Updating the flood map in Part 2 of the DCP to include the 0.5m freeboard. The provisions of the controls already set out requirements for the flood planning area which includes the 1:100 flood liable land, plus the 0.5m freeboards, however the map currently does not reflect this.
  • Part 5 has been deleted and relevant sections which needed to be retained have been incorporated into the residential sections of the DCP. Part 5 contained site specific controls for areas like Cooks Estate, Jerrabomberra Heights, Golf Links Estate and a number of other areas. These areas are now all developed and separate controls are no longer required.
  • A new Part 3d has been incorporated to address shop top housing. Some controls for shop top housing were previously contained in Part 7 CBD. These are now contained within the new Part 3d together with several new provisions.
  • Previously the DCP allowed for temporary occupancy in a shed on site whilst building a dwelling. This is now prohibited to bring the controls in Queanbeyan in line with the controls contained in the Palerang DCP.
  • A new map has been incorporated showing the area where the DCP applies.
  • Introduce new objectives and controls in Part 8 for the railways lands adjacent to Oaks Estate zoned IN2. This is to address previous representations to the Council from the Oaks Estate Progress Association.
  • Updating the provisions for car parking requirements within Part 2 of the DCP.
