Event Outline 

 DCPs are often treated as quasi-mandatory — but when does a DCP go too far? This seminar explores the circumstances in which a DCP conflicts with an environmental planning instrument and how that inconsistency must be resolved. It will examine key cases where DCP provisions have been found to have no effect and when they have been found to apply. It will address the risks of treating policy as law in development assessment.
