Kogarah Town Centre DCP set the specific design controls for substantial redevelopment in the town centre in recent years. The DCP proposed new building types, including 7 storey and 4 storey perimeter block buildings which now form new streetscapes in Kensington, Belgrave, Premier and Hogben Streets.

The DCP included building envelopes for the Kogarah Town Square development. It also included detailed urban and environmental design guidelines, including passive solar design, sun shading, insulation, operational energy, water conservation, resource conservation and recycling.
