Public exhibition

We exhibited a proposed amendment to the Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Woollahra DCP 2015). The proposed amendment seeks to introduce controls relating to basketball courts and sports courts (including associated structures and facilities) in residential areas to help protect the amenity of the area. The Woollahra DCP 2015 does not currently contain any controls in relation to basketball courts on residential properties.


The Draft Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Amendment 26) seeks to include controls for basketball courts and sports courts within Chapter B3 General Development Controls of the Woollahra DCP 2015 in residential areas to ensure they are appropriately located and designed to protect the amenity of the streetscape and neighbouring properties.

The proposed amendment applies to the entire Woollahra Local Government Area.
