Developer Contributions

Information regarding Developer Contributions

The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the Act) enables Council to impose conditions of consent on a development application relating to Developer Contributions. These conditions require the payment of a monetary contribution, or the provision of public amenities and services, in order to meet demand created by new development within Warringah.

For Council to impose a condition for a developer to pay development contributions, a Contributions Plan which complies with the requirements of the Act must be in place.  Council's current adopted plan is the Warringah Section 94A Development Contributions Plan (S94A Plan). The plan imposes a levy of 0.5% of the total cost of the development for works between $100,001 and $200,000 and a total of 1% of the cost of works over $200,001. 

The Act and the S94A Plan also make provision for Council to enter into voluntary planning agreements as the means through which these additional community facilities and services are provided. Under these agreements, Council enters into a legal contract with a developer to construct public facilities and infrastructure or provide public services as part of the conditions of development consent.

For information relating to the types of facilities that would be funded by the imposition of this plan, refer to Part 5: Schedule of Works.
