Development Contributions

Heritage

Planning and Development

All Planning and Development Fees are calculated using the Estimated Development Cost (EDC), including GST, as defined in the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021.

Development Applications

 

  • Activities may be subject to further fees and charges (if approval is granted to the application) as detailed in other sections of this Fees and Charges document.

 

  • Exemptions and Reductions in Fees

Council may provide for a reduction or exemption of certain fees (unless affixed by Regulations) only in very exceptional circumstances and following consideration of a written request by the Chief Executive Officer. Where the Chief Executive Officer finds that the specified fees are inappropriate or unreasonable having regard to the nature of the specific activity / matter or in the circumstances then a reduction or exemption may be granted to applicable fees.

 

  • Refund of Fees

Consideration will be given to a written request for a refund of a particular fee or charge paid when an application is withdrawn. Any refund will be proportionate to the extent of administrative and professional works carried out prior to the date of the request. Generally Council retains the first $300 and the Information Management Fee regardless of when the application is withdrawn.

 

  • Asset Protection Fee

The asset protection fee allows Council to undertake both a pre and a post inspection to ensure that building works associated with construction activities do not negatively impact the integrity of public areas or Council Assets. With larger projects Council staff are often required to attend the site multiple times.

 

  • Long Service Levy Fee

The New South Wales Parliament has put a levy on building and construction work costing $25,000 and above (inclusive of GST) in New South Wales. The levy is paid into a fund administered by the Long Service Corporation, and from this fund, the Corporation makes long service payments to building and construction workers. The Levy is payable online, at local councils or direct to the Corporation. The current levy rate is 0.35% of the value of building and construction works costing $25,000 or more (inclusive of GST).

 

 Assessment Services

 

The fee determined by the consent authority must accompany the application. In the case of a building or works, the fee is based upon the estimated cost of that building or works as detailed in Section 251 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021.

 

 The Development Application total fee is made up of:

 

  • Development Assessment Fee
  • Notification and Advertising Fee (if applicable)
  • Asset Protection Fee
  • Information Management Fee (currently Archive Fee)
  • Long Service Levy (if applicable)
  • Integrated Development and Concurrence Fee (if applicable)
  • Designated Development Fee (if applicable)

 

Note: The Development Assessment Fee includes a planFIRST fee that is payable to the NSW Department of Planning for all applications over $50,000 (Council is only a collecting agent for this fee).
