Wollondilly Shire Council is inviting feedback on the draft Wollondilly Shire Contributions Plan 2025.
A Contributions Plan ensures there is money (contributions) from developers to fund local infrastructure that is appropriate for the community. This may include local roads and pathways, parks and playing fields, libraries, community / recreational facilities, as well as plan administration.
The draft Wollondilly Shire Contributions Plan lists the land and works that are proposed to provide or improve local amenities and services in Wollondilly Shire. It has been redrafted following a routine review of the existing Contributions Plan, and will apply to the towns, villages, and lands outside of the Wilton and Appin Growth Areas.
The Shire population (excluding growth areas) is expected to grow by about 7665 residents and 2554 homes in the next 10 years. This plan proposes to levy $66 million worth of local infrastructure, subject to a cap of $20,000 per residential lot.
The Draft Plan is based on best practice principles to provide adequate funding for local infrastructure and will give Council, developers and the community confidence that development contributions will contribute equitably towards local infrastructure where it is required.
The development contributions system and the process for making a contributions plan is set out through the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, together with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021, ministerial directions, planning circulars and practice notes.
