Draft Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015 - Part O

Submissions closed on 03 February 2023, 12:00 AM

You are invited to provide feedback on the draft Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015 – Part O. This applies to the Mount Druitt Central Business District. The draft is on exhibition from 7 December 2022 to 3 February 2023.

In May 2020 the NSW Government announced the approval of the Mount Druitt CBD Planning Proposal, which rezoned land from B3 Commercial Core to B4 Mixed use, increased the building heights and removed the floor space ratio controls.

Blacktown Draft Development Control Plan 2015 Part O (Mount Druitt CBD) sets out detailed development objectives and controls to complement the amendments to the Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 2015 made in 2020. A draft DCP was previously exhibited in December 2021. We received a number of submissions and as a consequence have amended the draft DCP. The revised draft is now on exhibition.
