Consultation has concluded
This Policy is supported by and to be used in conjunction with Council’s Local Infrastructure Contributions Plans (LICP) and water supply and sewerage developer charges under Council's Development Servicing Plans (DSP).
Development Contributions, also known as Local Infrastructure Contributions, are a levy charged by Council when new development occurs. These contributions are collected for funding public infrastructure that is required as a direct or indirect result of development, for example local roads, footpaths, community centres, sporting fields and parks.
The current Policy came into effect on 19 October 2016, and was to be reviewed by 19 October 2019. This Policy has been reviewed as it was overdue and since its adoption:
References to specific sections and definitions within the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2021 have changed.
The notice of payment re-issue fee needs to be aligned with Council’s Fees and Charges.
The guidelines for not-for-profit organisations have been developed.
Contributions offsets for ecological sustainable development have not been utilised; and the direction for deferral deeds has also changed.
The list of proposed changes to this Policy can be found in the Council meeting Agenda report in the Document Library to the right along with the proposed draft documents. The text in red reflects the proposed changes to the policy.
