Draft Cumberland Development Control Plan
At its Ordinary Meeting held on 19 August 2020, Council considered a report on the public exhibition for the new Cumberland Development Control Plan (DCP) and the recommended planning controls in response to further review and submissions.
Council adopted the draft Cumberland DCP to come into effect on the date of publication of the new Cumberland Local Environmental Plan. This is anticipated to be finalised and gazetted during the 20/21 financial year.
A single Cumberland DCP will provide a unified set of planning controls to support the future needs to Cumberland City.

About Development Control Plans
Development Control Plans (DCPs) provide guidance for the design and operation of development within a Local Government Area (LGA) to achieve the aims and objectives of the Local Environmental Plan (LEP).
The development controls include setbacks, urban design, stormwater drainage, landscaping, parking and access. They cover various development types, including residential, commercial and industrial developments.
Under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979, the Consent Authority is required to take into consideration the relevant provisions of the DCP in determining an application for development in the relevant Local Government Area.
New development should meet the requirements of the DCP and the relevant Parts within the Plan should be consulted to ensure the best outcome for applicants and the community.
Until the Draft Cumberland Development Control Plan is finalised by Council, the existing DCPs from the three former Councils areas remain in place.
- Auburn Development Control Plan 2010
- Holroyd Development Control Plan 2013
- Parramatta Development Control Plan 2011
