Draft Fairfield City Wide Development Control Plan 2024 - Amendment 1

The Fairfield City Wide Development Control Plan is subject to ongoing reviews to ensure that its controls remain relevant and respond to emerging issues or changes in legislation. The updates proposed under this review aim to address various issues associated with future developments identified by a range of key stakeholders. The updates focus on revising existing chapters to reflect ongoing changes in development and environmental standards, ensuring the document remains current and user-friendly for both proponents and assessment officers.

This amendment proposes a number of relatively minor changes to address issues resulting from the implementation of the new Fairfield City Wide DCP 2024 in August 2024.  The key development control changes are outlined below. More details of the proposed amendments are provided in the Amendment Register (Report – Attachment B).

Amendment No.1 to the FCW DCP 2024 rectifies formatting and grammatical errors throughout the entire DCP to ensure the document is clear, consistent and concise. Legislation references, terminology and clauses have been updated to reflect current legislation.

Amendments to  Chapters 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, 5C, and 6B include:

  • inclusion of BASIX requirements under each chapter’s Energy Efficiency Measures section,
  • amending privacy controls for dwelling houses,
