Contributions Plan No. 01 - 1980s Release Areas
Purpose of Plan
This Contributions Plan outlines Council's policy regarding the application of Section 94 (S.94) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 in relation to the provision of infrastructure and baseline facilities within the City's 1980s Release Areas.
Within the 1980s Release Areas S.94 contributions are levied for the following amenities and services:
-
Trunk Drainage
-
Flood Mitigation
-
Major Roads
-
Eastern Creek Overbridge
-
Open Space and Recreation
-
Community Facilities
This Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation, 1980.
The initial Contributions Plan for the 1980s Release Areas was approved by Council on 21 July 1993 and came into force on 4 August 1993.
This plan was reviewed in March 1999, with a further review in March 2006, coming into force on 29 November 2006.
The S.94 contributions contained in this Plan have been determined on the basis of "Contribution Catchments". This is the area over which a contribution for a particular item is levied. Within each catchment there is an identifiable "list" of works, which are scheduled for provision.
Council applies contribution formulae to each catchment for the purpose of calculating the contribution rate applicable to that catchment. The formulae take into account the cost of works to be undertaken, the cost to Council of acquiring land on which to undertake these works and the size of the catchment area. The total cost of providing these works is distributed over the total catchment on an equitable basis.
