Public exhibition

The Woollahra Development Control Plan 2015 (Amendment 33) seeks to update electric vehicle provisions and is on exhibition from 29 January 2025 to 2 March 2025.

The amendments to the Woollahra DCP 2015 aim to:

  • Update existing provisions to reflect increased knowledge and new technology in the electric vehicle sector;
