Development control plans (DCP)

New employment zones came into effect on 26 April 2023 in NSW. For more details on these reforms visit the Department of Planning and Environment website.

Any reference to a former zone in a development control plan and/or other planning documents is legally taken to be a reference to these new employment zones.

The primary purpose of a development control plan (DCP) is to guide development according to the aims of the corresponding local environmental plan (LEP). The DCP must be read in conjunction with the provisions of the relevant LEP.
