Amendments to the Development Contribution Plans are proposed. The amendments are to update the schedules of works, to amend the contribution for boarding houses in growth precincts, and to expand the range of exemptions and to update EPAA1979 clause references.

The names of the plans refer to the relevant section of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the clause numbers in the Act have been amended.

The Section 7.11 Plan 2016 imposes an open space levy on new dwellings in the precincts where the greatest population growth is anticipated. The main growth precincts are the centre and high density residential flat zones where development of residential flats could occur, with a corresponding increase in residents. These are: Sutherland/ Kirrawee, Miranda, Caringbah, Cronulla, Engadine, Gymea, Jannali, and Sylvania Southgate.

The draft Section 7.11 Plan 2016 imposes a levy on all other development with value over $100,000 in all areas of the Sutherland Shire. The projects funded under this plan are varied in type and distributed across the Sutherland Shire.
