Local Contributions

Local Infrastructure Contributions

As population and development in Wollondilly increases, so too does the demand for infrastructure and services. Communities need items such as roads, parks, drainage basins, and community centres.

Council collects contributions from developers to help fund these public infrastructure. These are called 'Development Contributions', and are based on the impact, type, cost and location of the proposal.

The amount payable will be based on the type, cost and location of the development. If a development contribution applies, this will be included as a condition in the development consent.

Contributions Plan

The Wollondilly Development Contributions Plan 2020 outlines the monetary rates, land and types of development affected, procedures, and other relevant provisions.

Please note that the Local Contributions Rates indicated on the Contributions Plan document are now outdated. Please refer to the current contribution rates.

The interactive map helps visualise spatial information and provides a better understanding of the relationship between anticipated development and the demand for local infrastructure. It shows local infrastructure proposed to be delivered, including the land to be acquired and works to be undertaken.

It allows zooming in and out, panning around, identifying specific features, and generating reports.

Information for Accredited Certifiers

Accredited Certifiers (also known as Private Certifiers) have the same obligations as Council when issuing certificates.

When issuing Construction Certificates or Occupation Certificates these obligations include:

Ensuring that any condition requiring the payment of contributions has been satisfied.

When issuing Complying Development Certificates these obligations include:

Calculating any required contribution in accordance with the applicable contributions plan; and
Imposing a condition requiring the applicant to pay contributions before any work authorised by the certificate commences; and
Ensuring that contributions have been paid before any work authorised by the certificate commences.

Paying the contribution

If a contribution is required, the certifying authority will include a condition in the consent or complying development certificate requiring the contribution. This condition will advise when the contribution needs to be paid.

To pay the contribution or request payment advice please email contributions@wollondilly.nsw.gov.au. Payment advices are typically issued within 2-5 business days and will remain valid until the next quarterly indexation date. If the contribution is not paid by this date, a new payment advice will be required for the next indexation period.

Contributions can be paid via credit card, back transfer or at Council’s customer service counter. Additional information will be provided with the updated payment advice.

The amount of contribution payable will be based on the type and location of the development.

Depending on the type of development, contributions will be payable after a DA/CDC is approved and prior to Construction Certificate, Commencement of Works or Subdivision Certificate. As contributions rates are updated every quarter, we will need to be contacted for a Payment Advice prior to payment.

If your development has already been approved via DA or CDC, please complete the Contributions Invoice Form below. Please note, for council to issue an invoice for a CDC. the CDC must be determined and uploaded to the NSW Planning Portal
