Draft DCP /LEP for the Village now available
I have a print copy of the Draft Development Control Plan Yarrowlumla LEP 2002, 2(V) Village Zone. Now, I’m sure that’s a typo on the cover because it’s actually Palerang Development Control Plan YLEP 2002, 2(V) Village Zone. (Although YLEP is Yarrowlumla LEP).
It is a simple document laying out requirements for development in Captains Flat and Bungendore with a few major bits of forward thinking that will make it clearer to potential developers and residents what they need to do when making application to council.
The forward thinking bits? Definition of an “Area suitable for Medium Density Development’ in Bungendore and introduction of some new Lanes that will make that development possible. And some clarification of minimum block sizes and strong requirements for solar alignment and back yard ammenity space. (There’s clarification of Flood Zones but I haven’t got my head around that yet.)
The paper in the Council Business for the Council meeting on Thursday 5 Feb. explains the thinking behind it all, read it here (PDF)
Heres’ a map of the proposed zone, all with 400m walking distance to the business centre.
New development, all within a short walk
Those dark blue double lines are the proposed lanes. Between Molongolo and Ellendon, and Ellendon and Butmaroo in the area bounded by Turallo Terrace and Gibraltar, a shorter ‘dead end’ lane off Butmaroo and between Rutledge and Malbon, parralel with Ellendon.
The area marked out contains a lot of the ‘old Bungendore’ and the seperate Heritage buildings register sets requirements to development near those. And there’s some stricter environmental aspects mentions as well.
The Draft will be released to the Council meeting today and I’m sure we’ll see it available online for all of you soon.
Then the discussion can begin!

An interesting email response to this post pointed out that
“Both the new laneways proposed (Molonglo to Ellenden and Ellenden to Butmaroo) would seem to be lanes which would go past the back of the pubs Lake George and Royal which sounds like an unsavoury practice and pretty concerning for any residents also fronting or backing the laneways; and looks like we would be some of those residents therefore impinging on our privacy, security, noise pollution, etc etc and amenity and land value in general”
