Contributions Plan No. 20 - Riverstone & Alex Avenue Precincts
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 local infrastructure and baseline facilities within the Riverstone & Alex Avenue Precincts.
Within the Riverstone & Alex Avenue Precincts S.94 contributions are levied for the following amenities and services:
- Water Cycle Management Facilities;
- Traffic & Transport Management Facilities;
- Open Space and Recreation Facilities; and
- Community Facilities & Combined Precinct Facilities.
This Plan has been prepared in accordance with:
- The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 (EPA Act);
- The Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation, 2000; (EPA Regulation);
- In conjunction with the Indicative Layout Plans for the Riverstone and Alex Avenue Precincts; and
- Having regard to the Practice Notes issued by the NSW Department of Planning (2005) in Accordance with clause 26(1) of the EPA Regulation.
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 providing land for a public purpose to 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.
