Development Control Plan No. 36

Complying and Exempt Development

The aim of this Development Control Plan (DCP) is to provide controls and standards for complying and exempt development.  The controls and standards are designed to ensure that development specified in this plan is carried out with minimal environmental impact and that the amenity of the residents of Marrickville is protected. It specifies development standards and requirements for complying and exempt development as provided for under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and Marrickville Local Environmental Plan 2001.

The key issues addressed in the DCP are:

  • To provide for a system of appropriate assessment for development in Marrickville
  • To protect the amenity of people living and working in Marrickville while not unduly restricting development of minor or minimal environmental impact
  • To provide appropriate assessment procedures and standards in order that development of minor environmental impact can be efficiently assessed
  • To promote greater efficiency and more productive use of resources in the assessment of development proposals
