Fixed Rate Levy (Section 7.12) Development Contributions Plan 2020
The 7.12 Plan applies to non-residential development on land outside of Macquarie Park.
The Plan levies a fixed rate contribution of 1% on non-residential development with a cost of works more than $350,000.
The following forms can be submitted with an application where this plan applies to assist Council in determining the contribution applicable. The forms can also be used as guide for providing a separate cost report. Council notes the Development Application Form also requires a cost summary report. The DA form will in most cases suffice and these forms will not be required. However, should Council determine that the development maybe undervalued and more detailed cost report will be requested.
