Ku-ring-gai Development Control Plan (KDCP) Amendment 13
With the introduction of the NSW Government Low and Mid-rise (LMR) and Transport Oriented Deveopment (TOD) housing reforms, developers are claiming that the current Ku-ring-gai Development Control Plan (KDCP) does not apply.
Council’s legal advice is that the controls continue to apply despite the KDCP not being updated.
However, the advice is that an updated KDCP will ensure these controls are consistent with, and applicable to, any development introduced under the NSW Government Housing reforms.
The amended KDCP is available for review via Council’s ‘Your Say’ link KDCP Amendment 13.
You can now review and comment on these amendments until Thursday 16 July 2026.
Send your comments, marked with the reference number ‘S15328-3’ by email to krg@krg.nsw.gov.au; or Mail to General Manager, Ku-ring-gai Council, Locked Bag 1006, Gordon NSW 2072.
Deadline is 5pm on Thursday 16 July 2026.
