Part 7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the Act) allow councils to impose contributions on development consents for community infrastructure.
The main types of development contributions relevant to the Bega Valley are:
Development contributions are spent on community infrastructure identified in the schedule of works in Council’s contribution plan. This schedule reflects Council’s latest community infrastructure capital works priorities as well as the provision of local and district level roads, parks, sporting, recreation and cultural facilities and car parking facilities. Council can only levy contributions under Section 7.11 of the Act if the area for development in question falls under one of Council’s development contribution plans.
It is important to check with Council whether any contributions are payable because if there were no contributions paid at the time of subdivision, or your development is of a nature that increases demands for community of public infrastructure, then a contribution will apply. For more information on the current contributions amount, see Councils Fees and Charges document.
Contributions payable are calculated during assessment of a development application and are then levied as a condition of development consent. They must be paid before Council can issue a subdivision certificate or construction certificate. Contributions for Complying Development must be paid prior to commencing works. Bega Valley Section 94 and 94A Contributions Plan 2014 explains the calculation methodology (see information below).
On 14 August 2024 Council resolved to adopt the Bega Valley Shire Council Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan 2024 - 2036. The plan repeals the previous Bega Valley Section 94 and 94A Contributions Plan 2014 and applies to all applications for development consent and complying development certificates lodged on or after 4 September 2024. For further information please contact Council’s Strategic Planning Section on (02) 6499 2222.
Contributions for water and sewer infrastructure are levied under Section 64 of the Local Government Act 1993. These contributions are detailed in Council’s Development Servicing Plan (prepared in accordance with the Department of Water and Energy Best-Practice Management of Water Supply and Sewerage Guidelines 2007). For more information on the current Section 64 water and sewer contributions go to Council’s Fees and Charges or contact Council's Water and Sewer Services on (02) 6499 2222.
