PART ONE - Campbelltown City Council - NSW Government

Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 5 April 2011 Page 432.6 Draft Campbelltown (Sustainable City) Dcp 2011 (Volumes 1, 2 & 3) - Stage 4The above EPIs generally contain provisions for:permissibility of land uses within each zone of the relevant area that is covered by eachEPI;minimum lot sizes that are required to allow for the erection of rural residentialdevelopment;tree preservation provisions; anda list of heritage items.The provisions within the IDOs are difficult to interpret, in particular, the provisions for thepermissibility of dual occupancies and rural worker dwellings. A great deal of this uncertainty inthese provisions is generated by the revoking of older planning instruments by the Department ofPlanning over the past years and the inconsistency in the interpretation of these clauses over theyears.The above EPIs will be reviewed and consolidated as part of Council’s comprehensive LEPInstrument. This would provide clearer provisions and certainty for property owners anddevelopers.In addition to the above EPIs, the following DCPs apply:- DCP 49 - Rural Sub-division Dwelling Policy (DCP 49); and- DCP 6 – Wedderburn.DCP 49 applies to all non urban lands within the City of Campbelltown with the exception ofWedderburn, where DCP 6 applies.DCP 49 – Non Urban Lands:Contains development controls for allotment configurations (width and depth) accordingto the minimum subdivision standards under the relevant EPI;Provides controls for building setbacks;Contains development controls for dual occupancies within non-urban lands; andProvides provisions for trees preservation.DCP 6 – Wedderburn (applies to the Wedderburn area).
