Georges River planning notes for dual occupancy

  • Georges River's DCP is attentive to streetscape rhythm, front setbacks and landscaped area, bulk-and-scale and articulation are frequent assessment points.
  • Foreshore and flood considerations apply near the river (Blakehurst, Oatley, Carss Park) and can shift a project toward a DA.
  • Heritage conservation areas exist across the LGA; a heritage listing or HCA removes CDC eligibility and requires a DA with heritage input.

We check the Georges River heritage and flood layers first, a surprising number of otherwise-standard blocks sit in an HCA or near the river.
