The Alpine Region Development Control Plan 2025 (DCP) contains controls to guide development in the NSW Alpine Region. It came into effect on 14 January 2025 and forms part of the region's planning framework. The plan supports the objectives of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Precincts—Regional) 2021 (Precincts-Regional SEPP) and the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct Master Plan.

The DCP aims to ensure that Alpine development is ecologically sustainable, supports year round tourism and recreation, manages environmental and safety risks, and contributes positively to the region’s unique landscape, built form, heritage, and cultural values. It does this through planning objectives and detailed development controls that seek to promote high quality, well designed development outcomes. All development applications in the Alpine Region are assessed against the region's planning framework, including the Precincts-Regional SEPP, the DCP, and section 4.15 of the EP&A Act.

This page provides a downloadable PDF version of the DCP as well as a web-based version. The web-based format makes it more accessible and easier to navigate to help users find, interpret and apply elements of the DCP that are relevant to their development proposal.
