The Armidale Dumaresq Development Control Plan 2012 (the DCP) provides guidance to developers, including requirements for construction, subdivision, signage, heritage, parking and so on.
Section 2 - Site Analysis and General Controls should be read in conjunction with the relevant chapter relating to your specific development type. All relevant chapters, including the relevant site analysis chapters, must be addressed in your Statement of Environmental Effects and on your site plans when submitting a Development Application.
Note: In addition to the provisions in the DCP, various State Environmental Planning Policies and the LEP 2012 also contain development standards and matters for consideration for some development types, such as exempt and complying development, rural lands, BASIX, koala habitat protection, heritage, signage and other planning related issues.
