Compliance with the provisions of this DCP does not necessarily guarantee that consent to a Development Application (DA) will be granted. Each DA will be assessed having regard to the LEP, this DCP, other matters listed in Section 4.15 of the Act, and any other policies adopted by the consent authority.

If there are circumstances when it is not relevant to comply with the controls in this DCP, applicants must provide a written submission clearly demonstrating compliance with the objectives of this DCP, and detailing the reasons the control/s should be varied. The proposed variation must result in a better outcome and meet all objectives of this DCP.
