IPART will commence its assessment of Wollondilly Shire Council’s Appin Contributions Plan.
Our assessment will consider whether the Appin CP meets the criteria as set out in the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure’s Practice Note. We will publish a Draft Report on our assessment findings and recommendations. At that time, we will welcome submissions from any interested parties.
Wollondilly Shire Council is preparing the Appin CP to collect contributions from the new development. These contributions will fund upgrades to infrastructure in the area to meet a projected population of about 55,950 people and 18,650 dwellings. This will affect future and existing residents, local business and developers.
We will provide our final assessment and recommendations to the Minister. The Minister, or their Nominee, will advise the council on any changes it needs to make prior to adopting the plan. The council will then be entitled to charge the applicable contributions rates in the Appin CP.
