FAQs

A Development Control Plan is a policy prepared by Council to provide detailed guidelines for the design and assessment of proposed developments within a Local Government Area. The Wollongong Development Control Plan 2009 specifies the objectives and development controls (e.g., setbacks, private open space, landscaping etc) to guide development that is permissible under the Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009.

The Development Control Plan chapters and appendices are reviewed and updated as required, usually to implement the actions of an adopted strategy, to reflect changing legislation, maintain currency or improve the development assessment process.

Council will consider all feedback and submissions received and Appendix 4 may be varied as necessary. A report will be prepared for Council detailing the feedback received and providing recommendations on final Appendix 4 amendments.

Council will consider this report and provide a resolution on how to proceed. People who have provided feedback will be notified of the date of the Council meeting and how to view the relevant documents.

If adopted by Council after the exhibition, the final Development Control Plan Appendix will be uploaded to Council’s website and the previous version removed.
