Development Contributions

Last modified: October 29, 2009 - 1:15 PM

Section 94 refers to developer contributions under section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Section 94 enables Councils to require a contribution from developers towards the provision, extension or augmentation of public amenities and services that will, or are likely to be required as a consequence of development in the area, or that have been provided in anticipation of or to facilitate such development.

Each Section 94 Development Contributions Plan is structured to:

ensure an adequate level of public infrastructure is provided as development occurs;
enable the Council to recoup funds which it has spent in the provision of public facilities in anticipation of likely future development;
ensure that the existing community is not burdened by the provision of public facilities required as a result of future development; and
provide a comprehensive strategy for the assessment, collection, expenditure,accounting and review of development contributions on an equitable basis.
