Draft Woollahra DCP 2015 (Amendment 14) - Inter-War flat buildings in the Woollahra LGA, timber buildings in Paddington and Watsons Bay HCAs

Woollahra is rich with Inter-War flat buildings that make an important historic, aesthetic, social and technical contribution to the character to the historical development of the LGA.

Timber buildings provide evidence of the early village of Camp Cove and Paddington and contribute to the heritage values and character of Watsons Bay and Paddington Heritage Conservation Areas.

We have identified that the existing provisions relating to Inter-War flat buildings in the whole LGA and timber buildings in both Paddington and Watsons Bay could be enhanced.

Draft Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Amendment No.14) seeks to:

  • Enhance existing provisions for Inter-War flat buildings in Paddington, Woollahra and Watsons Bay;
  • Enhance existing provisions for timber buildings in Paddington & Watsons Bay; and
  • Undertake minor wording changes to Clause B3.8.7 to strengthen existing provisions.

Draft Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Amendment No.14) applies to land within the Woollahra local government area as identified on the map in Figure 1 where the following chapters of the Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Woollahra DCP 2015) apply:

  • Chapter B1 - Residential Precincts
  • Chapter B3 - General Development Controls
  • Chapter C1 - Paddington Heritage Conservation Area
  • Chapter C2 - Woollahra Heritage Conservation Area
  • Chapter C3 - Watsons Bay Heritage Conservation Area

This approach will provide additional protection to Inter-War flat buildings and timber buildings.

Draft Woollahra DCP 2015 (Amendment 16) - Numerical controls for multi-storey development in the Paddington HCA

Chapter C1 Paddington HCA contains a number of provisions that inform the design, scale and bulk of multi-storey terrace style housing. Draft Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Amendment No.16) seeks to strengthen these provisions. Overall, these amendments seek to supplement existing provisions for multi-storey terrace style housing, including the height, form and presentation of rear elevations.

Draft Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Amendment No.16) applies to land within the Woollahra local government area as identified on the map in Figure 2 where the following chapter of the Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Woollahra DCP 2015) applies:

  • Chapter C1 - Paddington Heritage Conservation Area
