Development Control Plan (DCP)
DCP - Section A DCP - Section B
The Tweed Development Control Plan contains detailed guidelines that show the controls that apply to a particular type of development or in a particular area.
A DCP implements the Far North Coast Regional Strategy and supplements the Local Environmental Plan and is made according to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
For information on draft DCPs currently being developed or under review see planning future land use.
