The proposed Tolland Renewal Project has identified some elements within the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010 (DCP) that require amending to enable certain outcomes to be delivered in the renewal area.

A recently approved amendment to the DCP added a new clause into section 12 that addresses ‘Specific Uses and Developments’. Clause 12.14 of the DCP references the Tolland Renewal Area and requires that developments are consistent with the Tolland Concept Masterplan. It is anticipated that additional controls relating to developments within the Tolland Renewal Area will be included within this section of the DCP.

Current Status:

A set of draft controls have been prepared by Stantec for Homes NSW - these are subject to review and editing. The review, editing and preparation of a detailed set of controls is required and, once complete, must be reported to Council to enable public exhibition of the amended controls. Following a minimum four-week public exhibition period, a further report back to Council is required to enable the DCP amendments to be adopted.

It is anticipated a report to Council to put the development controls on public exhibition will occur around June 2024.
