What is a Contributions Plan?

    A Contributions Plan provides the legislative basis for contributions to be levied on new development pursuant to sections 7.11 and 7.12 (previously sections 94 and 94A) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.  

    Funds collected from the levy are used by Council to provide improved public facilities. The specific projects which are to be funded are identified in the Works Schedule (found in Appendix B) of the Contributions Plan.

    Why is Council preparing a new Contributions Plan?

    A new contributions plan has been prepared to provide an updated schedule of projects that would be funded. These projects include:

    • Refurbishment of Public Amenities
    •  Accessibility Works
    •  Bushland and Open Space Works
    •  Contributions to the Renewal of Rawson Oval Pavilion and Middle Head Oval Pavilion
    •  Street Furniture
    •  Pedestrian Works
    •  Public Art

    When did Council resolve to publicly exhibit the Contributions Plan?

    At the ordinary meeting of Council held on 5 April 2022, Council considered a report on MOSPLAN 2022-2032.  This report identified that some of the proposed projects in MOSPLAN are intended to be funded from development contributions. Accordingly, the Works Schedule of the Contributions Plan needs to be amended to cover these projects.
