Mittagong Town Plan – Effective 17 June 2015 PART A | Page 3 of 319 MITTAGONG TOWN PLAN DCP PART A ALL LAND SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION Figure A1.1 - Mittagong Town Boundary A1.4 Structure of this Plan The Plan is divided into three Parts: • Part A applies to all land within Mittagong and Welby. This Part contains the overall objectives of the DCP and considers principles and controls applicable to all development within the Mittagong area, addressing such issues as Ecologically Sustainable Development, development on flood liable land, vegetation management including tree preservation controls, subdivision and siting matters, development and design within a heritage context, designing for safety and signage. • Part B applies to development on business-zoned land within Mittagong and Welby. Specific controls have been developed for those permissible land uses with the potential for significant urban impacts including retail and business premises, ‘large footprint’ developments such as bulky goods, landscape and garden suppliers and tourist and visitor accommodation, as well as sex services premises. All business zoned land has been allocated to a Business Precinct and additional precinct-based controls may apply so applicants need to determine in which precinct their proposed development is located.
