Planning Reform Contribution

Development applications must be accompanied by the applicable fees at the time of lodgement. The fees are set out in our adopted Fees and Charges.

Council is required to set aside a proportion of the fees and remit it to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) for planning reform services. This applies to demolition, building or subdivision works that are estimated to have a value greater than $50,000.

For further information on the planning reform contribution refer to section 266 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 2021. Contact may also be made with DPHI about the contribution and planning reform services.
