FAQ

Mosman’s Development Control Plans (DCPs) need to be updated periodically to ensure their currency with NSW planning legislation and policy, and to correct errors, omissions or provide clarity of content as identified through the day-to-day use of the plans in development assessment. Further, Council has adopted updated heritage rankings for buildings within Mosman's heritage conservation areas. Minor amendments need to be made to the three DCPs as a result.

At the ordinary meeting of Council held on 3 April 2018, two reports were considered about proposed changes to the DCPs. These were:

• EP/16 - DCP Housekeeping Amendments
• EP/18 - Heritage Conservation Areas - Updates to Heritage Rankings

The proposed changes to the DCPs are relatively minor in nature and primarily update the DCPs to ensure their currency with NSW planning legislation and policy, and to correct errors, omissions or provide clarity of content. The heritage conservation area rankings information is also to be amended in line with Council's adoption of new rankings on 3 April 2018.

The documents library section of this consultation webpage includes:

• A summary table of all proposed changes to the DCPs with reasons why changes are proposed;
• Copies of the three Mosman DCPs with proposed changes marked up in red throughout the documents
• Reports to Council summarising why the changes are proposed to be made to the DCPs

There would be minimal change to land in Mosman as a result of the proposed changes to Mosman's DCPs, which are relatively minor in nature.

NSW planning legislation pertaining to Development Control Plans (DCPs) is contained within Part 3, Division 3.6 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and Part 3 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000. The proposed changes to Mosman's DCPs are publicly exhibited for a minimum of 28 days pursuant to clause 18 of the Regulation. 

Yes. You can make a submission, in writing to Council, before the close of submissions date of 17 May 2018, via -

Following public exhibition, Council planning staff will consider any submissions received and prepare a report for consideration at a meeting of Council recommending that Council adopt the proposed changes to the DCPs (with or without amendment in response to submissions received). If adopted, the changes would then come into effect on a date to be determined and notified in the local newspaper, typically within 2-3 weeks of the Council meeting date.
