Explore Councils by state
The City of Parramatta Council at its Ordinary Council Meeting on Monday 28 August 2023 adopted (with an amendment) the Parramatta ‘Harmonisation’ Development Control Plan (DCP) 2023 – see Minute 4480.
This decision followed Council’s consideration of a Council Report on the outcome of the six-week public exhibition of the Draft ‘Harmonisation’ Development Control Plan that occurred between 13 March 2023 and 1 May 2023.
The adoption of the Parramatta ‘Harmonisation’ DCP 2023 (which forms the Parramatta DCP 2023) will repeal the five DCPs that continued to apply across the City of Parramatta following the council boundary changes in May 2016. The finalisation of the DCP was the final component of the Land Use Planning Harmonisation Framework project, with the Parramatta ‘Harmonisation’ Local Environmental Plan (LEP) (i.e. Parramatta LEP 2023) coming effect in March 2023.
The new Parramatta Development Control Plan 2023 will come into effect on Monday 18 September 2023 and will be made available here on this date.
On the same day, the following DCPs will be repealed: • Parramatta DCP 2011 • Auburn DCP 2010 • The Hills DCP 2012 • Holroyd DCP 2013 • Hornsby DCP 2013 In addition to finalising the Parramatta DCP 2023, Council on 28 August 2023 also resolved to make administrative ‘non-policy’ amendments to the stand-alone DCPs for Wentworth Point, Homebush Bay West, and Carter Street. These will be forwarded to the Department of Planning and Environment (the Department) for finalisation. The updated stand-alone DCPs will come into effect when approved by the Department. A further notice will be published advising of the date.
