On Monday 10 August, Council resolved to adopt the site-specific development controls to be included in the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan (DCP) and changes to the floor space ratio and height of building provision of the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan (LEP).

To finalise the changes to the LEP, the proposal has been forwarded to NSW State Government to prepare the relevant legislation.

The changes to the DCP will be made and advertised in the local paper and come into effect on the day it is notified.

What to expect next?

It is important for you to have your say in the development that may occur next. As part of the Development Application process, certain developments are advertised and notified for comment. The notification requirements will depend on the scale of the development being proposed as part of the application.

All applications that are notified will be listed on Council’s website: Notification List

During notification periods, the application and any plans and specifications will be made available to view and depending on the type of development, applications can be advertised for anything from 7 days to 30 days depending on the complexity.
