Section 94 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 provides the basis under which Council may levy contributions for the provision of public amenities and services which may be required as a result of development taking place.
This plan will establish a nexus between the development being undertaken and the need for the provision of additional public amenities or services for which any contribution is to be sought.
The Act and the Act's Regulations require Council to prepare a Contributions Plan, if Council intends to levy any contributions under the terms of the Act, and make Council publicly accountable for the use and administration of contributions it receives.
Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of the plan is to provide the necessary framework for the efficient and equitable determination, collection and management of developer contributions towards the provision of public amenities and services such as:
- community and cultural facilities
- open space and recreation facilities
- civic and urban improvements
- roads and traffic management
- transport and accessibility
- stormwater management
The provision of such services and amenities is to be undertaken to ensure that appropriate and reasonable environmental, amenity and servicing standards are achieved throughout the City. The plan also provides that the facilities are designed and constructed to a standard that is commensurate with the needs of both the existing and future population that will utilise them.
