As part of that gazettal a Development Control Plan (in the form of an amendment to the Marrickville Development Control Plan (MDCP) 2011) is required that addresses the matters detailed below.

At its meeting on 24 April 2018, Council considered a report on a draft amendment to Part 9.47 – Victoria Road Precinct of the Marrickville Development Control Plan (MDCP) 2011 and resolved to put it on public exhibition for community comment.
