Griffith Residential Development Control Plan – Site Specific

At the 08 April 2025 Ordinary Meeting of Council, Section 12.3 of the Griffith Residential Development Control Plan (DCP) was endorsed to be placed on public exhibition for a period of 33 days (28 day period extended due to public holidays). Section 12.3 is a Site-Specific Section of the DCP that pertains to land on the east side of Lake Wyangan on Boorga Road and West Road (including Lot 102 DP 1018460, Lot 104 DP 1018460 (south of West Road) and Lots 309 and 610 DP 751743, West Road). The public exhibition period commences on 16 April 2025 and finishes on 19 May 2025 at 4:00pm.

A Planning Proposal was endorsed by Council for the subject lands in 2019. The Planning Proposal amended the minimum lot size of the subject lands from 5 ha to 1 ha for lots that would not be connected to Council’s reticulated sewer service. To ensure adequate provisions were in place to mitigate and manage the potential environmental impacts of the use of onsite sewage management systems on Lake Wyangan and Campbell’s Wetland, Clause 7.12 was inserted into GLEP 2014, requiring the preparation of a site-specific development control plan (DCP).

Mayuresh Group Pty Ltd have lodged a development application over Lot 102 DP1018460 to facilitate a 58-lot large lot residential subdivision. The proposal seeks a variety of lot sizes from just over 4000 sq. m. to 3.7 ha in area. The development application was submitted to Council on 20 February 2025. The development application included the following technical studies to appease the requirements of Clause 7.12 of the GLEP 2014:

• Stormwater Music Model – MJM Consulting
• Campbell’s Wetland – EcoResolve
• Land Capability Assessment – McMahon Earth Science
• Geotechnical Investigation – Douglas Partners
• Salinity Assessment – Douglas Partners
• Preliminary Engineering Drawings – MJM Consulting

All documents relevant to the development application are available online at:

Mayuresh Group Pty Ltd also submitted a draft site-specific development control plan (DCP) to Council to meet the requirements of Clause 7.12 of GLEP 2014 based on the technical assessments submitted with the development application. The development application cannot be determined until the DCP is endorsed by Council.

Council reviewed the draft DCP internally and made some alterations and additions to ensure the development controls could be placed within the existing Griffith Residential Development Control Plan (GRDCP) as a site-specific section. Draft Section 12.3 includes controls to assess, minimise and manage the potential impacts of residential development on the environment and future residents of the subject lands. These controls pertain to onsite sewage management, groundwater, salinity, mosquito prevention and mitigating impacts to Lake Wyangan and Campbell’s Wetland

Draft Section 12.3 of the GRDCP is available to view on the right of this page, or by visiting Griffith City Council at 1 Benerembah Street, Griffith.
