s7.11 Developer Contributions

Section 7.11 development contributions are collected according to the additional demand placed by development for Council facilities. Georges River Council has 1 active section 7.11 contributions plan, and several repealed plans. These contributions are collected and used to provide additional public facilities and amenities, according to the specific works schedules contained within the plans. Each plan also identifies where, for what development, and how much the contribution should be to provide those facilities.

s7.12 Developer Contributions

If your development is not affected by s7.11 contributions, they will be affected by s7.12 contributions if the cost of development exceeds $100,000.  s7.12 Contributions apply across the whole of the Georges River LGA as a percentage of the cost of a development. They are to assist in the provision of infrastructure across the Local Government Area in line with demand for public services and infrastructure.

Voluntary Planning Agreements (VPA)

Voluntary Planning Agreements are entered into by a Planning Authority and a Developer who has sought to change planning controls through a Planning Proposal application, or has made a Development Application. Planning Agreements are for a public benefit in relation to the Application and may operate in addition to or exempt s7.11/7.12 Developer Contributions depending on their nature.
