DRAFT Development Control Plan

Council is inviting the community to provide comments on the DRAFT Leeton Development Control Plan (DCP) that is on public exhibition until 5pm on 31 August 2022.

The proposed DCP applies to the whole of the Leeton Shire and will guide development that is permissible under the Leeton Local Environmental Plan 2014.

The DCP will be used by Council as a planning tool to assist with the assessment of Development Applications lodged with Council, to ensure growth and development occurs in a consistent, orderly and environmentally sensitive manner.

The DCP also allows everyone to better understand the requirements and standards that Council will apply in determining Development Applications.

The information gathered during the last round engagement via the Issues paper fed into the development of the DRAFT DCP and Council would like to thank all who have provided feedback so far.

Interested community members can view Council’s DRAFT DCP on this Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ online engagement portal at haveyoursay.leeton.nsw.gov.au (scroll down if on a mobile device). The DCP is divided into a number of parts.

Hard copies are also available for viewing at Council’s Administration Office, the Leeton Shire Major Dooley Library, the Whitton and Murrami Post Offices and the Yanco Shop.

The community is encouraged to provide feedback to Council in any of the following ways:

ELECTRONICALLY: Complete the survey on Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ online engagement portal at haveyoursay.leeton.nsw.gov.au

BY EMAIL TO: council@leeton.nsw.gov.au

BY LETTER: Address to the General Manager, 23–25 Chelmsford Place, Leeton 2705.

Community engagement sessions will also be held including specific meetings with developers and builders. Further details will be provided on dates and times.
