Amendments to South Jerrabomberra Development Control Plan

We have prepared an amendment to the South Jerrabomberra Development Control Plan (SJDCP) 2015. The SJDCP was initially adopted by Council on 11 February 2015 and became effective on the 6 March 2015. Amendments to the document are required in order to introduce new Neighbourhood Structure Plans for the South Tralee/Forrest Morrison Area, and to include appropriate controls for small lots of 130m2 and studio dwellings.

The main changes include:

• The SJDCP 2015 requires proponents to produce an agreed Neighbourhood Structure Plan for inclusion in the DCP prior to formally submitting a development application. The amendment introduces new Neighbourhood Structure Plans for the South Tralee/Forrest Morrison Area. Adoption of such Neighbourhood Structure Plans is critical as a first step to enable lodgement of a development application.
• South Tralee Local Environmental Plan 2012 was amended in 2015 to allow for the creation of small Torrens title lots of 130m², and, to allow for the development of studio dwellings (also known as ‘Fonzi flats’). It is proposed to now amend the SJDCP 2015 to ensure appropriate controls are in place for such developments.
