The Tamworth Regional Development Control Plan 2010 (DCP) was adopted by Council on 12 October 2010, and became effective from the gazettal of the Tamworth Regional Local Environmental Plan 2010 (TRLEP) on 21 January 2011.

The Plan is reviewed regularly and on an as-needs basis, to ensure that the content remains consistent with the objectives adopted by Council in response to consultation with the community and development industry.

During the Ordinary Council Meeting of 10 June, 2025 Councillors approved the public exhibition of the DCP Draft Amendment No.18

The Draft Amendment No. 18 is proposed to address two matters, as follows:

1. Subsequent to the gazettal of Heritage Conservation Areas in the Tamworth Regional Local Environmental Plan 2010 - Amendment No. 27 (TRLEP) on 16 May 2025, this amendment seeks to update the East and West Tamworth Heritage related controls chapter within the DCP to ensure there is consistency across both the TRLEP and DCP planning documents; and

2. The correction of a typographical error identified recently that stemmed from the adoption of DCP Amendment No. 17 in 2024, which relates to sewer reticulation requirements where the Lot Size Map specifies a minimum area of 4,000m2.
