Development Control Plans (DCP) provide additional planning and design guidelines to support the aims and objectives of the LEP. DCPs provide detailed controls and standards for addressing development issues at a local level and cover various development types, including residential, commercial and industrial.
Under Section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the consent authority is required to take into consideration the relevant provisions of the DCP in determining a development application.
The new Parramatta Development Control Plan (DCP) 2023 came into effect on 18 September 2023.

- Parramatta DCP 2011
- Auburn DCP 2010
- The Hills DCP 2012
- Holroyd DCP 2013

Stand-alone Development Control Plans
(Back to top)The following development control plans apply to specific sites in the City of Parramatta LGA:
- Carter Street Precinct Development Framework 2020
- Homebush Bay West Development Control Plan 2004 (Volume 1)
- Homebush Bay West Public Domain Manual 2005 (Volume 2)
- Homebush Bay West Development Control Plan (Amendment No. 1) 2013
- Wentworth Point Precinct Development Control Plan 2014 - Amendment 1
Note: The City of Parramatta Council on 28 August 2023 endorsed administrative ‘non-policy’ changes to the above stand-alone DCPs. These changes resulted from the Land Use Planning Harmonisation Framework project and include:
- replacing references to the former Auburn City Council to the City of Parramatta Council.
- replacing references to the Auburn LEP 2010 that have been replaced by the new Parramatta LEP 2023.
- transferring controls referenced within the Auburn DCP 2010 (which has been superseded by the implementation of the new Parramatta DCP 2023) to retain the existing policy framework for the precincts.
- other changes as needed to retain existing policy.
These changes are administrative only and have been made in response to the Council boundary changes that occurred in May 2016.
A Notice will be published when the updated DCPs come into effect.
