A Development Control Plan (DCP) provides detailed planning and design guidance to support the aims, objectives and planning controls in the Dubbo Regional Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2022. A DCP guides developers, landowners, Council and the community on how land may be developed and change over time.
A DCP includes a range of planning principles, objectives, performance measures and acceptable solutions to ensure the region is developed in a logical manner, with an emphasis on overall liveability, quality and sustainability.
The objective of the amendments is to change the planning and design controls to facilitate a Torrens Title Subdivision of the land, in place of the planned Community Title Subdivision of the land.
Community Title is a land title system where there are multiple lots on one piece of land with shared and common areas, while Torrens Title is a land title system where there is a sole owner of the land.
The amendment will only revise planning and design controls under Part 2.1 Residential Subdivision Controls and will not materially change the proposed subdivision and development outcomes on the land.
The Towards 2040 Community Strategic Plan is a vision for the development of the region out to the year 2040. The Plan includes six principle themes and a number of objectives and strategies.
This report is aligned to:
- Theme: 1 Housing.
- Objective: 1.1 Housing meets the current and future needs of our community.
- Delivery Program Strategy: 1.1.1 A variety of housing types and densities are located close to appropriate services and facilities.
