Strathfield Council, at its meeting on 25 June 2024 resolved to place on exhibition an amendment to Part P - Heritage of Strathfield Development Control Plan (DCP) 2005.
The proposed amendments (which are highlighted in the document) seek to include new objectives and provisions for the sympathetic incorporation of environmentally sustainable technologies in heritage listed buildings and buildings in Heritage Conservation Areas (HCA), consistent with the Sustainable Buildings State Environmental Planning Policy 2022.
The amendments were publicly exhibited from Tuesday 20 August 2024 to Tuesday 17 September 2024. Council has considered submissions received during exhibition and made amendments to the document where appropriate. In summary, there are two key outcomes following public exhibition:
- That the exhibited version of Part P be modified to; retain inclusions on environmentally sustainable technologies; remove certain diagrams and photographs; make edits to text where appropriate; and remove the classifications for dwellings in the HCAs.
- That Part P be reviewed again as part of a Comprehensive DCP review earmarked for 2025. As part of this, the entirety of Part P will be reviewed. Classifications will be revisited and informed by up-to-date analysis of each HCA. Diagrams, layout, photographs, objectives and controls will all be reviewed.
The amended document was presented to Council at its meeting on 22 October 2022. Council resolved to adopt the amended Part P – Heritage of Strathfield Development Control Plan (DCP) 2005.
In accordance with Part 2, Division 2, Section 14 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021, the amended document has been published on Council’s website and the NSW Planning Portal and replaces the existing Part.
