Submissions are sought in response to amendments proposed to the Camden Development Control Plan 2019.

Draft amendments to the Camden Development Control Plan 2019 (DCP) have been prepared to reflect recent changes to Employment Zones introduced by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE).

  • Update zone references to amend references to previous Environmental zones to refer to new Conservation zones;
  • Remove references to the repealed SEPPs and replace with new conslidated SEPPs;
  • Restructure Chapters 5 and 6 to incorporate Industrial and Commercial development controls within one 'Employment Zones' chapter; and
  • Introduce objectives and controls to support the centres hierarchy established by the Centres and Employment Land Strategy.

The amendments involve changes to the following parts of the Camden DCP 2019:

  • Part 1 - Introduction;
  • Part 2 - General Land Use Controls;
  • Part 4 - Residential Dwelling Controls;
  • Part 5 - Centres Development Controls;
  • Part 6 - Specified Land Use Controls;
  • Schedule 1 - Elderslie;
  • Schedule 2 - Spring Farm;
  • Schedule 3 - Manooka Valley;
  • Schedule 4 - Harrington Grove;
  • Schedule 13 - 190 Raby Road, Gledswood Hills.

The Camden DCP 2019 applies to the land shaded blue on the map below.

The Camden Local Environmental Plan 2010 will utilise four of the eight new zones, as follows:




Note: This reform excludes land in the South West Growth Area that is zoned under State Environmental Planning Policy (Precincts—Western Parkland City) 2021.

The zoning changes commence on 26 April 2023.
