Development Contributions Plans

Contributions for development are based on the development type as to whether Section 7.11 or Section 7.12 applies. Section 7.11 is calculated on lots/dwellings, Section 7.12 is calculated on the cost of development work, and for some commercial developments, the number of car parking spaces.

Each Development Contributions Plan identifies public services and amenities where development contributions will be spent to meet the demands generated by development. Contributions are used to fund infrastructure projects that benefit the public, like roads, bridges, footpaths, community centres, parks and sportsgrounds.

Payment of development contributions for development applications is generally required prior to the release of the Construction Certificate for the development, however timing of payment will be stated on your consent. Complying Development Certificate contributions are required prior to works commencing.
