Contributions Plan No. 23 Riverstone West Precinct
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 West Precinct.
Within the Riverstone West Precinct S.94 contributions are levied for the following amenities and services:
- Water Cycle Management Facilities
- Traffic & Transport Management 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);
- State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006;
- The Growth Centres (Development Corporations) Act 1974 No 49 (as amended);
- The Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment Bill 2008;
- In conjunction with the Indicative Layout Plan (ILP) for the Riverstone West Precinct; 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 a catchment there is an identifiable "list" of works, which are scheduled for provision. There is one contribution catchment for this plan, the "Riverstone West Precinct Contribution Catchment".
Council applies contribution formulae to this catchment for the purpose of calculating the contribution rate applicable to the 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 catchment on an equitable basis.
