Public Notice of Amendment to Parramatta Development Control Plan (DCP) 2011

Notice is hereby given that the City of Parramatta Council endorsed a site-specific Development Control Plan (DCP) relating to the development of land at 135 George Street and 118 Harris Street, Parramatta (Albion Hotel site) at its meeting on 14 March 2022.  The site-specific DCP will be incorporated into the existing Parramatta DCP 2011.

The site-specific DCP provides detailed built form controls, relating to building form, setbacks, street wall height, public domain and landscape, pedestrian connectivity, access, parking and servicing, flood risk management, heritage provisions and sustainability.  Council endorsed minor amendments to the exhibited DCP prior to its finalisation to improve internal consistency within the document and other minor wording changes requested by State government agencies.  The minutes and the report to Council can be viewed online here Agendas and Minutes: City of Parramatta (nsw.gov.au)

(refer to Item 13.9 in the Business Paper for Council’s Meeting of 14 March 2022.)

The site-specific DCP will come into effect on the date that the Parramatta CBD Planning Proposal is published on the NSW Legislation website and comes into force. It will be incorporated into Part 6 City Centre controls of the Parramatta DCP 2011. The Parramatta CBD Planning Proposal will amend the controls on the site to permit a building on the site with a maximum height of 165.6 metres (including all bonuses) and floor space ratio of 12:1 including all bonuses with potential for additional commercial floor space not exceeding the height control.
