The Western Sydney Aerotropolis Development Control Plan Phase 2 (DCP) was finalised on 10 November 2022. It supports the ongoing implementation of the Aerotropolis Precinct Plan by providing controls to guide development across the initial precincts for growth, the Aerotropolis Core, Badgerys Creek, Wianamatta-South Creek, Agribusiness and Northern Gateway Precincts.
The Phase 2 DCP applies a performance-based approach that balances flexibility with certainty for applicants. It contains specific development controls to support healthy communities, high-quality building design, stormwater management, waterway health, transport considerations including parking rates, vegetation and canopy cover, and heritage and environmental conservation.
The Phase 2 DCP has two accompanying guidelines, Recognise Country and Aviation Safeguarding.
The Western Sydney Aerotropolis Development Control Plan – Phase 2 (Phase 2 DCP) has replaced the interim Phase 1 DCP.
The Phase 2 DCP was on exhibition for feedback from 8 October until 5 November 2021. As a result of feedback during the exhibition period, the Phase 2 DCP was reviewed, restructured and downsized by more than 50 pages to remove duplication and make it easier to use.
