2025 Housekeeping Amendments to Willoughby Development Control plan (DCP)

Willoughby Development Control Plan (WDCP) provides detailed guidelines to ensure a high standard of development in Willoughby City.

Changes to the DCP aim to address minor anomalies and inconsistencies in the documents. These changes are called housekeeping amendments, meaning they are relatively minor changes with an intention to clarify an existing clause or control where there has been uncertainty.

The proposed changes to the DCP are detailed in the Fact Sheets on the right side.

The DCP Housekeeping amendments are on public exhibition from Monday 17 March until Monday 14 April 2025.

Separately, housekeeping changes to the Willoughby Local Environmental Plan 2012 are also currently on exhibition.
