Complying development under Council's DCP

Complying development under Council's DCP for Exempt and Complying Development 2000

Council’s DCP (PDF) identifies 11 types of development as complying development.

All of these development types overlap the exempt or complying development types in the State Codes SEPP. Under the State Codes SEPP this is referred to as the “same development” (clause 1.10).

The Codes SEPP clause 1.9 specifies the relationship between the controls in the Codes SEPP and Council's DCP, where the two policies overlap:

  • If it is complying development in both the Codes SEPP and Council's Exempt and Complying DCP, you can choose to apply either the SEPP or the DCP provisions.
  • If it is exempt development in the Codes SEPP and complying development in Council's Exempt and Complying DCP, you can choose to apply either the SEPP or the DCP provisions.
