Development Control Plans (DCPs) are used by Councils to guide development according to the aims of the corresponding LEP. Development in Urana, Morundah, Boree Creek, Oaklands and Rand is currently subject to controls documented in the Urana Shire Development Control Plan 2011. Section F1 of the Urana Shire DCP pertains to flood prone land, defined as the land identified on the Flood Planning Map (contained within the Urana LEP 2011, produced in the 2002 study (Reference 10). After the NSW Government’s Flood Prone Land Package commenced on 14th July 2021, the Flood Planning Map has been repealed from the LEP. The following are noted from the Urana Shire DCP 2011:
Residential Dwellings (Rural and Village Zones)

BL
All structural elements below the FPL are to be designed by a qualified practising structural engineer to withstand the impact of flooding. Any part of a dwelling below the flood planning level will be constructed using materials that are flood compatible; Subdivision of village zoned land within the floodplain for the purpose of erecting a dwelling house will require a minimum 550 m2 of vacant land within each allotment that meets the flood planning standard and has direct vehicular access to a public road.

Residential dwellings must not be constructed on flood prone land within a Village Zone without access to a public road which remains trafficable to light vehicles during a flood; The floor level of all habitable rooms of any dwelling in rural or village zones shall be in accordance with the flood planning level (i.e. 500 mm freeboard above the 1:100 ARI); The subfloor area may be utilised for garage, storeroom (or similar), but is not permitted to have any facilities such as sinks, wash troughs, basins, toilets, and baths or shower recesses installed; The sewer relief gully to dwellings will not be located below the 1:100 ARI. In rural zones effluent disposal systems are to be designed to avoid flooding so as not to cause pollution during flood events;

Caravan parks Caravan parks are considered to be a ‘residential’ land use and will be considered on merit. Development of caravan parks on flood prone land must demonstrate that “permanent, fail-safe, maintenance free measures are incorporated in the development to ensure the timely, orderly and safe evacuation of people from the park area should flooding occur…any annexes and movable dwellings must be able to be dismantled and removed within 24 hours.”
