The Engineering Guidelines for Subdivision and Development are comprised of three parts, being:
These guidelines must be referenced throughout the planning, design, and construction phases of all development proposals. They provide technical specifications that establish consistency and set the minimum standard for subdivision and development works within Kempsey Shire.
The Engineering Guidelines for Subdivision and Development are referenced throughout the Kempsey Development Control Plan (DCP) and should be read in conjunction with development applications, approvals, and associated conditions.
Council has undertaken a review of the regional AUS-SPEC Design and Construction Development Specification Series and updated relevant sections to ensure consistency with industry best practice and current standards.
Council acknowledges that the documented specifications will not cover every situation or site-specific circumstance and views its approach to developing these standards as key to a long-term partnership that supports industry innovation.
Council is genuinely committed to working with industry to define practical and meaningful standards that deliver for our community.
