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. 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 updated references to
legislation and an updated schedule of projects that would be funded including:
Redevelopment of the Allan Border Oval Pavilion
and the Middle Head Oval Pavilion;
Playground upgrades at Bay Street Reserve,
Clifton Gardens Reserve, Hunter Park and Reid Park;
Implementation of the Mosman Bicycle Plan and
Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan; and
Upgrades to the Mosman Swim Centre and Balmoral
Baths
When did Council resolve to publicly exhibit the Contributions Plan?
At the
ordinary meeting of Council held on 3 April 2018, Council considered a report
on MOSPLAN 2018-2028. 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.
What changes are proposed to be made to the Contributions Plan?
The
proposed changes to the Contributions Plan over the existing Section 94A
Contributions Plan primarily involve an updated Schedule of Works. Updates have also been made to reflect
changes to the numbering of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.
The
exhibition includes the Contributions Plan with proposed changes marked up in
red throughout the document.
