Background
The draft Bayside Development Control Plan 2022 (DCP) will replace the existing DCPs that applied to the two former LGAs of Botany Bay and Rockdale, the Botany Bay Development Control Plan 2013 and Rockdale Development Control Plan 2011.
The DCP is one of two key land use planning documents that apply to the Bayside LGA, alongside the existing Bayside Local Environmental Plan 2021 (LEP). DCPs provide detailed planning and design provisions and guidelines to support planning controls contained in the higher-level Local Environmental Plans.
The draft Bayside Development Control Plan 2022
The draft Bayside DCP 2022 will facilitate quality development, protect neighbourhood amenity and maintain environmental quality. It will set requirements for site amalgamation, building setbacks and envelopes, landscape treatments, privacy, parking and other detailed planning, urban design and public domain considerations.
It is intended that the draft Bayside DCP 2022 will:
- Carry forward most of the provisions contained in the two existing DCPs
- Create a common set of DCP objectives and controls for the Bayside LGA
- Reflect the objectives of the Greater Sydney Region Plan: A Metropolis of Three Cities, and the priorities of the Eastern City District Plan
- Implement the relevant priorities and actions of the Bayside Local Strategic Planning Statement
- Complement the aims, objectives, land use tables and clauses of the Bayside Local Environmental Plan 2021 (LEP)
- Address any anomalies and inconsistencies in the current DCPs
