Council is inviting community members to view and comment on Council’s Draft Hawkesbury Section 7.12 Contribution Plan which will be on public exhibition for a period of 28 days from Monday 28 October to Monday 25th November 2024.

Hawkesbury City Council (Council) will experience development in the future that will have an impact on the quality and demand for local infrastructure provided by Council.

To meet the need for improvements of local infrastructure, Section 7.12 (Formerly Section 94A) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 authorises a Consent Authority to impose a condition of consent on a proposed development requiring the payment of a monetary contribution in the form of a levy of the percentage of the proposed cost of carrying out the development. The purpose of this plan is to authorise Council when granting consent to a development application, or an accredited certifier when issuing a complying development certificate to which this plan applies to require monetary contributions to be made towards the provision, extension or augmentation of local infrastructure provided by council.

This plan authorises Council or an accredited certifier to impose a condition of consent requiring a section 7.12 payment from developments that:

• Are not subject to contributions under a section 7.11 Plan or relevant Voluntary Planning Agreement adopted by Council, and

• Has a proposed development cost of $100,001 or greater and

• Not excluded under Section 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 of the draft section 7.12 contribution plan.

The draft section 7.12 contribution plan has been prepared in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2020, and latest practice notes. Additionally, this plan provides the framework for the administration and operation of the determination, collection and management of contribution levies collected.
