Amendments to Development Control Plan - Car Parking

One of Council’s key land use planning documents, the Development Control Plan (DCP), is being updated, and we want you to have your say.

Various sections of the Tweed Development Control Plan (DCP) contain planning controls that relate to the provision of onsite parking. These need to be reviewed on a regular basis.

What is a Development Control Plan?

A Development Control Plan (DCP) is a written document that supports the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and expands its principal development standards. It is a locally adopted plan and guides council staff, developers and landowners in the requirements needed and provides guidelines for development. A DCP contains a range of measures such as planning principles, objectives and controls for buildings and also provides controls for topics such as landscaping, drainage and car parking.

What changes are being made?

The proposed amendments to the DCP are:

• A2 - Site Access and Parking: to address issues with the allocation of residential parking to 2-bedroom units.
• B2 - Tweed City Centre: to specify that A2 parking rates apply where B2 is silent, rather than Transport for NSW standards, and extend parking rates to other unit development types.
• B21 - Pottsville Locality Based Development Code: to resolve inconsistencies with Development Contributions Plan CP23 - Offsite Parking.
