Consultation to continue on new Berry DCP
Published on 08 March 2024
Community consultation on the new Berry Development Control Plan (DCP) has reached the second stage.
This document will help shape Berry's landscape, setting guidelines for the design, appearance and placement of buildings.
A community drop-in session will be held on Monday, 18 March with all interested stakeholders encouraged to attend, including residents and visitors, to provide valuable feedback to help recognise Berry's unique identity while accommodating future growth.
This session follows the receipt of 631 survey responses during the initial consultation, with 60 per cent of respondents requesting a drop-in session to provide additional feedback.
The session will further explore the DCP and possible planning and development control responses for the area.
Director of City Futures, Coralie McCarthy, says this is an important step to ensure that Berry’s future aligns with the desires and aspirations of its community.
“It’s a cherished town that’s not only a service centre for neighbouring suburbs but an area loved by locals and tourists alike,” Ms McCarthy said.
“We want to make sure our next steps align better with the community’s aspirations, so all participation is greatly appreciated,” she said.
“The drop-in session will allow attendees to give their valuable insight and learn more about the DCP process”.
The drop-in session will be held from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Attendees can arrive at any time within the two-hour window and there’s a capacity for approximately 45 people at any one time.
