What are Section 94A development contributions?

Section 94A is the Section of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 that allows Council to collect contributions from those undertaking development. The contribution under Section 94A must be a monetary contribution and must be authorised by a Section 94A Contributions Plan prepared by Council. Blue Mountains City Council has had a Section 94A Contributions Plan adopted periodically since 2010.

Contribution rates are specified by legislation. It is a percentage of the proposed cost of carrying out the development:

Proposed Cost of Development

0.5%
More than $200,000

The levy is used to help provide public infrastructure, amenities and services. Appendix C in the draft plan details the types of works that the levy is allocated towards.

The plan is on exhibition until Wednesday 7 June 2017 and submissions are invited during this period.
