Amendment – Perthville Levee

Council is proposing to update the Bathurst Regional Development Control Plan 2014 (DCP) in relation to land management controls that apply to lands that are now flood protected by the recently completed Perthville Levee. 

The proposed amendments to the DCP will result in Perthville flood protected land being able to be developed in accordance with the existing provisions within the DCP that apply to flood protected land. In particular, new floor levels for any new development will no longer have to be a minimum of 0.5m above the 1% AEP flood level. No land is proposed to be rezoned and no other planning controls will be altered as part of the proposed amendment.

The draft Amendment is on exhibition during the period 15 August to 12 September 2022.
