Council at its meeting on 4 October 2022 resolved to amend the Part N of the Strathfield Consolidated Development Control Plan 2005 (SCDCP 2005). 

The amendment proposes to amend Part N – Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) 

The amendment proposes to be inclusive of all types of development within the LGA.  It is intended to promote tree retention, retention of greenspace and the addition of recommended vegetation species planting list to promote vegetation as a strategy for WSUD.

The reason for the amendment is to minimise the loss of greenspace or mature trees through redevelopment within the LGA.

The SCDCP 2005 (Draft Amendment – Part N) will be on public exhibition for 28 days from Tuesday 2 November to Wednesday 30 November 2022.
