Development Control Plans
A Development Control Plan (DCP) contains detailed development controls that apply to particular types of development and development in particular areas.
Hurstville City Council’s DCP refines and supplements the provisions contained in environmmental planning instruments such as Hurstville Local Environmental Plan 1994.
DCPs are developed in accordance with provisions in Part 3, Division 6 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 which includes public consultation. To review current DCPs under development refer to our Strategic Planning pages.
