NDCP 2005 Home

Note; the Newcastle Development Control Plan 2005 is provided to assist you with the preparation of Development Applications. The provisions of the DCP are largely assessment criteria to be used in the assessment of Development Applications. However, some local circumstances may apply to any particular development site or proposal that warrant separate consideration outside the framework of NDCP 2005. Accordingly, compliance with the provisions does not guarantee development approval, nor will non compliance with the provisions necessarily result in refusal of an application. Also; Council does not accept any liability for your interpretation of the applicability or non applicability of the elements to your particular development proposal.
