Georges River Council Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan 2021 (Section 7.11 and Section 7.12)

Georges River Council at its meeting on 25 October 2021 resolved to adopt the Georges River Council Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan 2021 (Section 7.11 and Section 7.12).

The Plan came into effect on Wednesday 1 December 2021. It has repealed the Council’s existing six Section 7.11 Plans and one Section 7.12 Plan on this date. Please view the details on Council’s existing plans.

The Plan applies to land in the Georges River Local Government Area. It has been prepared to address anticipated demand for public facilities and services generated by new development up to 2036.

The Plan will enable Council and accredited certifiers to levy Section 7.11 contributions and Section 7.12 levies on development in the LGA towards the provision of public amenities and facilities.

Copies of the Plan are available at Georges River Civic Centre. Located on Corner MacMahon and Dora Streets, Hurstville. Open between 8.30am and 5.00pm, Monday to Friday.

Where a s7.12 levy is required under this plan in relation to a condition of development consent or application for a CDC, the application is to be accompanied by a Cost Summary Report. Prepared at the applicant’s cost, setting out an estimate of the proposed cost of carrying out the development.

  • For developments with an estimated cost up to $750,000. A template Cost Summary Report is available for download.
  • For developments with an estimated cost of above $750,000. A template Detailed Cost Summary Report is available for download.
  • Where complying development certificates need to be issued with a condition requiring payment of section 7.11 or section 7.12 contributions. A template condition is available.
