REVISED FLOOD PRONE LANDS DCP

The Flood Prone Lands Development Control Plan (DCP) outlines the rules for developing on flood-prone land in the Lismore local government area (LGA).

It takes a risk-based approach to planning and development in these areas and only applies to new development that requires a development application. Existing development is not affected.

The DCP outlines where certain types of development are acceptable, and where they are not. It also outlines requirements such as minimum floor levels, flood compatible materials and structural soundness.

The DCP includes four new flood risk precincts that have been developed based on the flood risk classification matrix, developed to classify all design flood events.
