What is proposed?

    The works schedules in the Development Contribution Plans are reviewed and amended periodically to reflect the expenditure allocations in Council’s capital works and land acquisition programs.

    The proposed amendments are to update the works schedules following a recent review.

    Why are there two development contribution plans?

    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 centres 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 Section 7.12 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.
