City of Sydney Boarding Houses Development Control Plan

City of Sydney Boarding Houses Development Control Plan - NSW City of Sydney 2004 - 32 pages

The DCP aims to encourage the increased provision of quality Boarding Houses and to achieve improved standards of accommodation when existing buildings are to be adapted or converted to a boarding house, or through the expansion of existing boarding houses, or when major refurbishment and upgrades occur. The standards and provisions of Part 2 – Planning and Design are only to be applied when appropriate in connection with any Development Application (DA) submitted to Council for these types of proposed development.
The DCP guidelines also aim to ensure planning and design of new proposals or additions to Boarding Houses (just like the other various forms of residential development) complement Council’s general planning provisions relating to built form issues and impacts on the environment. This will ensure that operation and management of Boarding Houses have a minimum adverse impact on adjacent land uses and the public domain.
