4 Part B Assessment of Contributions Under section 94B of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979, as a condition of development consent, Council may impose a fixed development consent levy (Section 94A); if it is allowed by and determined in accordance with a Development Contributions Plan. 8. Fixed Development Consent Levies (Section 94A) A Fixed Development Consent Levy may be placed as a condition on a development consent. This levy is calculated and is based on the proposed cost of carrying out the development. The funds collected under this section may be used to facilitate the provision, extension or augmentation of public amenities or services, or contribute towards the recoupment of costs of those public amenities or services, regardless of whether the development directly affects the provision of that amenity or service. A Development Contribution levied in accordance with this section is calculated based on the location of the development and its relevant catchment area. For the purposes of this plan, the catchment areas are identified in Schedule 1. The projects that the funds will contribute towards are identified in the relevant Narromine Shire Council Delivery Program and include: Aerodromes Public amenities Animal pounds Public parks and recreation areas Cemeteries Showgrounds Footpaths and pedestrian accesses Sporting facilities Libraries Stormwater management infrastructure Local roads Swimming pool The estimate for the cost of works determined by adding up all the costs and expenses that have been or are to be incurred by the applicant in carrying out the development, including: a. In relation to building work - The costs of or incidental to erecting the building or carrying out building work, including demolition, excavation, site preparation, decontamination or remediation. b. In relation to a change of use of land The costs of, or incidental to, doing anything necessary to enable the use of the land to be changed. c. In relation to the subdivision of land the costs of or incidental to preparing, executing and registering the plan of subdivision and any related covenants, easements or other rights.

5 However, the estimate does not include: a. the cost of the land on which the development is to be carried out, b. the costs of any repairs to any building or works on the land that are to be retained in connection with the development, c. the costs associated with marketing or financing the development (including interest on any loans), d. the costs associated with legal work carried out or to be carried out in connection with the development, e. project management costs associated with the development, f. the cost of building insurance in respect of the development, g. the costs of fittings and furnishings, including any refitting or refurbishing, associated with the development (except where the development involves an enlargement, expansion or intensification of a current use of land), h. the costs of commercial stock inventory, i. any taxes, levies or charges (other than GST) paid or payable in connection with the development by or under any law, j. the costs of enabling access by disabled persons in respect of the development, k. the costs of energy and water efficiency measures associated with the development, l. the cost of any development that is provided as affordable housing, m. the costs of any development that is the adaptive reuse of a heritage item. The estimate must be provided by a person of ability and approved by Council as an accurate recommendation. The estimate may be required to be adjusted in accordance with variations to the CPI, depending on time lapse between the granting of the development consent and the time at which the levy is paid. The formula for calculating the maximum amount payable under this section is included in Schedule Complying Development Certificates In relation to a complying development certificate, this Plan requires the payment of the applicable levies to Council by the applicant of a Complying Development Certificate, regardless of whether Council or a Private Certifier in the Principal Certifying Authority.

6 10. Maximum Levy Payable The amount payable under a fixed development consent levy (Section 94A) is based on the proposed cost of carrying out the development. The maximum levy payable in accordance with this Plan is calculated based on the table below. Estimated Cost of Development Levy Payable (%) <$100,000 0 $100,001 - $200, $200,001 - $500, > $500, The amount of contribution payable is calculated at the time of development consent. However, this amount is subject to adjustment depending on the time of payment. This contribution at the time of payment is calculated as follows: The Contribution at the time of payment = The original contribution as set out in the consent + Any adjustment amount The adjustment amount is calculated as follows: Adjustment Amount = The original contribution as set out in the consent X (Current Index - Base Index) Base Index Note: Current Index refers to the Consumer Price Index, Australia CPI: Groups, Weighted Average of Eight Capital Cities, Index Numbers and Percentage Changes as published for the last quarter by the Australian Bureau of Statistics available at the time of review of the contribution rate.
