7 1. Overview & Summary Schedules 1.1 Overview of Plan The Orange Development Contributions Plan 2015 (the Plan) has been prepared to address anticipated demand for Local Infrastructure generated by new development up to The Plan applies to all land within the Orange Local Government Area (LGA). The Plan has been prepared following a review of Orange Development Contributions Plan 2012 (the 2012 Plan). Section 2.20 of the 2012 Plan required it to be regularly updated so that Council s infrastructure program remains on a sound financial footing, that developmentgenerated infrastructure is delivered in a reasonable time, and that contribution rates remain reasonable over time. This Plan updates the 2012 Plan by updating development assumptions, works items and costs in that plan, as well as a number of housekeeping modifications to the 2012 Plan. The type of development expected to occur in Orange, and which will impact on the demand for Local Infrastructure addressed under this Plan, is likely to include: Residential Accommodation development in release areas including Ploughmans Valley, North West Orange, Waratah, Bloomfield, Leeds Parade, Phillip Street and Shiralee; infill development through re-subdivision of lots or multi-unit and dual occupancy development in the established urban areas of Orange; infill development in the villages of Spring Hill and Lucknow; rural residential or large lot Residential Accommodation development in several localities including Clifton Grove, Ammerdown and Calare, and in the Murphys Lane area; and dispersed rural Residential Accommodation development in various rural localities. There have been various estimates of future population growth made for Orange. Projections prepared for this Plan indicate that the estimated residential population is expected to increase from 38,295 in 2009 (ABS 2009) to 43,850 in 2026, a total of 5,555 residents. The Plan estimates that the equivalent of over 3,000 standard residential lots. The projected increase in demand will give rise to the need for the Council to provide new, or augment the existing Local Infrastructure. This Plan authorises the (Council) or an Accredited Certifier to impose conditions on Development Consents or Complying Development Certificates requiring Development Contributions for the following: open space and recreation facilities; community and cultural facilities; stormwater drainage facilities; roads, traffic management and cycleways facilities; local facilities directly serving each of the release areas of Ploughmans Valley, North West Orange, Waratah, Bloomfield, Phillip Street, and Shiralee; and plan preparation and administration. 1

8 This Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the EP&A Act) and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (the EP&A Regulation). In preparing the Plan Council has had regard to practice notes issued by the NSW Department of Planning in accordance with clause 26(1) of the EP&A Regulation. This Plan sets out: the expected types of future development in the Council s area and the Local Infrastructure required to meet that development; the formulas used to determine the contribution rates provided for in this Plan; the contribution rates applying to different types of development; maps showing the location of the items of Local Infrastructure proposed to be provided by the Council supported by a works schedule setting out an estimate of their cost and staging; and the administrative and accounting procedures applying to contributions that are required by this Plan. 1.2 Works and contribution rate summary schedules The summary schedules on the following pages are included in this Plan: Contributions by area and category (including total infrastructure costs) Contributions by development type and area (including total infrastructure costs) It is stressed that these are provided as summary tables only and more details are contained in the later sections of the Plan. The contribution rates shown reflect the contribution rates at the date that the Plan commenced. Rates are regularly adjusted for inflation in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 of this Plan. Applicants should inquire at the Council for information on the latest contribution rates. 2

17 1.3 Calculating a contribution under this Plan The type and quantum of the contribution applicable to any development will relate to: the type of development proposed (refer to Section 2.6 for list of developments subject to a contribution under this Plan); the location of the development site; and the Local Infrastructure service catchments that are relevant to the development site. Note that: All Residential Accommodation development throughout the LGA that is likely to generate an increase in demand for infrastructure identified in Sections to of this Plan will be levied a contribution for all of those infrastructure categories. There are several exceptions however and these are noted in Table 2.1 and in the discussion on demand and cost apportionment in each of those sections. In addition to note 1., Residential Accommodation development situated within the Waratah, Ploughmans Valley and North West Orange, DPI/Bloomfield, Phillip Street and Shiralee release areas, as shown in Figures 1.1 to 1.6, respectively, will be required to make a contribution toward various local area items identified in Sections 3.2.5, 3.2.6, 3.2.7, and 3.2.9, respectively, of this Plan. Contribution rates for various locations, infrastructure types and development types are shown in the tables in Section 1.2 of this Plan. The total monetary contribution levied for any individual development is the sum of the contributions shown in Section 1.2, less any allowance for existing developments, if applicable (refer to Section ). The contribution rates in this Plan are the contribution rates at the date that the Plan commenced. Rates are regularly adjusted for inflation in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 of this Plan. Applicants should inquire at the Council for information on the latest contribution rates. 11

24 1.4 What are Development Contributions? Development contributions are contributions made by those undertaking development approved under the EP&A Act toward the provision of public infrastructure. A council or an Accredited Certifier can require, through imposition of a condition or conditions on a Development Consent, Development Contributions if: the relevant council has adopted a contributions plan justifying the contribution (such as this Plan); and the contribution is imposed in accordance with the provisions of such a plan. There are two kinds of Development Contributions for Local Infrastructure that may be required by a consent authority that is a council or an Accredited Certifier. These are: contributions imposed pursuant to the provisions of section 94 of the EP&A Act and which illustrate a direct link or nexus between the development and the infrastructure; and contributions imposed pursuant to the provisions of section 94A of the EP&A Act and which need not reflect a nexus between the development and the infrastructure. Section 94A levies are simply a monetary contribution that is based on a percentage of the proposed cost of carrying out a development. However, only one of these types of contribution may be imposed on any individual Development Consent. This Plan is only concerned with section 94 contributions. 1.5 Cap on monetary section 94 contributions As part of the State Government s strategy to stimulate housing construction, increase housing supply and improve housing affordability in NSW, the Government now imposes limits on the total monetary section 94 contributions that a consent authority may impose on developments. The Minister for Planning issued a direction under section 94E of the EP&A Act effective from 21 August 2012 that restricts consent authorities from imposing conditions of consent requiring monetary section 94 contributions on Development for residential lots or dwellings in excess of the monetary cap specified by or under the Direction. The monetary cap applying to residential development on land within Orange LGA is $20,000 per lot or dwelling. Consistent with that policy, this Plan does not authorise section 94 contributions on a Residential Accommodation Development to exceed $20,000 per lot or dwelling in that Development. 18

29 2.8 Local Infrastructure addressed by this Plan The types of Local Infrastructure required to meet the demands of the expected future development in the Orange LGA, and which are addressed in this Plan, are as follows: new and upgraded roads and intersections; pedestrian and cycleways; streetscape treatments; local and district sporting, recreational, cultural and social facilities including a multipurpose community centre, playgrounds and their embellishment; drainage and stormwater management works including retarding basins and channel widening; and Local Infrastructure land acquisition. 2.9 Contributions for Local Infrastructure may be required as a conditions of consent Monetary contributions This Plan authorises Council or an Accredited Certifier, when determining an application for Development or an application for a Complying Development Certificate relating to development to which this Plan applies, and subject to other provisions of this Plan, to impose a condition requiring a section 94 monetary contribution on that Development to enable the provision of Local Infrastructure identified in this Plan. This Plan also authorises the Council or an Accredited Certifier to require monetary contributions from development towards recouping the cost of the provision of existing Local Infrastructure that has been provided by the Council for or to facilitate the carrying out of development and which the Development will benefit from Land contributions This Plan authorises Council, through the imposition of a condition or conditions of Development Consent, to require in connection with any Development on land to which this Plan applies: the dedication of land for Local Infrastructure free of cost to the Council; and / or the payment of a monetary contribution to the Council for land for Local Infrastructure that is required to enable the provision of Local Infrastructure identified in this Plan. Wherever land required under this Plan is situated within a development site within an urban release area, the Council will generally require the developer of that land to dedicate the land required under this Plan free of cost. The value of any land required to be dedicated will be taken into account in determining the total monetary contributions required by the Development under this Plan. Where the area of land to be dedicated exceeds the amount that would be required for the Development, then the difference shall be reimbursed or offset against other contributions required by the Council. 23

30 Council is not obliged to reimburse contributions until such time as all of the development anticipated in this Plan has been approved Calculation of contributions Contribution rates applying to Development are shown in Section 1.2 of this Plan. The formulas used to calculate contribution rates are set out in the infrastructure strategy plans included in Section 3.2 of this Plan Allowances/credits for existing Residential Accommodation development Monetary contributions determined under this Plan will be calculated according to the estimated net increase in infrastructure demand that a particular Development is deemed to generate. For Residential Accommodation Development Contributions, Council will take into consideration the existing infrastructure demand (based on the assumed existing population) relating to the Development site for the purpose of determining the net increase, at the rates cited in Table 2.2. Table 2.2: Assumed infrastructure demand attributable to existing Residential Accommodation developments Residential Accommodation development type Assumed average household occupancy rate Dwelling houses and single vacant allotments 2.75 persons per dwelling or lot Other dwellings: 1 bedroom 1.2 persons per dwelling 2 bedroom 1.6 persons per dwelling 3 or more bedroom 2.75 persons per dwelling 2.11 Other contributions to be taken into account Council, in proposing to impose a requirement for a Local Infrastructure contribution, will take into consideration any land, money or other Material Public Benefit that the applicant has elsewhere dedicated or provided free of cost within the area (or any adjoining area) or previously paid to the consent authority, other than: a benefit provided as a condition of the grant of Development Consent under the EP&A Act, or a benefit excluded from consideration by a Planning Agreement. In order for Council to consider the previous benefits made by the applicant, details must be submitted at the time of the development application. A reduction in the contribution requirement under this Plan may be considered where it can be demonstrated by the applicant that: the land, money or other Material Public Benefit previously provided continues to provide an ongoing benefit to the community; the benefit was not required to be provided under a condition of consent or under a Planning Agreement; 24

31 the benefit offsets some of the need for Local Infrastructure identified in this Plan; whether the works schedule included this Plan would require amendment; and the financial implications for cash flow and the continued implementation of the works schedule included in this Plan (including whether the Council would need make up for any shortfall in contributions by its agreement to reduce the contribution) Obligations of Accredited Certifiers Complying Development Certificates This Plan authorises that, in relation to an application made to an Accredited Certifier for a Complying Development Certificate: the Accredited Certifier must, if a Complying Development Certificate is issued, impose a condition requiring a Development Contribution, if such a contribution is authorised by this Plan; and such contribution can only be a monetary contribution required under this Plan; and the amount of the monetary contribution that the Accredited Certifier must so impose is the amount determined in accordance with this Plan. It is the responsibility of the principal certifying authority to accurately calculate and apply the Development Contribution conditions to Complying Development Certificates. Deferred payments of contributions required by a condition of a Complying Development Certificate will not be accepted. Failure to follow this procedure may render such a certificate invalid and expose the certifier to legal action Construction certificates It is the responsibility of an Accredited Certifier issuing a construction certificate to certify that any Development Contributions required as a condition of Development Consent or Complying Development Certificate have been paid to the Council prior to the issue of the certificate. The Accredited Certifier must ensure that the applicant provides a receipt (or receipts) confirming that contributions have been fully paid and copies of such receipts must be included with copies of the certified plans provided to the Council in accordance with clause 142(2) of the EP&A Regulation. Failure to follow this procedure may render such a certificate invalid and expose the certifier to legal action. The only exceptions to the requirement are where a work in kind, material public benefit, dedication of land and/or deferred payment arrangement has been agreed by the consent authority. In such cases Council will issue a letter confirming that an alternative payment method has been agreed with the applicant Adjustment of contributions rates under this Plan The purpose of this section is to ensure that the monetary contribution rates imposed at the time of Development Consent are regularly adjusted to reflect the indexed cost of the provision of infrastructure included in this Plan. 25

32 In accordance with clause 32(3)(b) of the EP&A Regulation, Council may, without the necessity of preparing a new or amending contributions plan, make changes to the section 94 contribution rates set out in this Plan to reflect quarterly variations to the Consumer Price Index (All Groups Index) for Sydney as provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Note: The contribution rate will not be less than the contribution rate specified at the date of the adoption of this Plan Adjustment of contributions required by a condition imposed under this Plan The purpose of this section is to ensure that the monetary contributions imposed on Developments at the time of Development Consent are adjusted at the time of payment to reflect the indexed cost of the provision of infrastructure included in this Plan. A Local Infrastructure Contribution required by a condition of Development Consent imposed in accordance with this Plan will be indexed between the date of the grant of the Development Consent and the date on which the contribution is paid in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (All Groups Index) for Sydney as provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The current contribution rates are published by the Council and are available from the Council offices. Should the Council not validly publish the applicable contribution rates, the rate applicable will be calculated in accordance with the most recent validly published rate Timing of payment of monetary contributions required under this Plan Council s policy in relation to the timing of payments of monetary contributions required under this Plan is as follows: Development applications involving subdivision - prior to the release of the subdivision certificate. Development applications involving building work - prior to the release of the construction certificate. Development applications where no subdivision or building approval is required prior to the issue of Development Consent or release of the occupation certificate. Complying development works prior to the issue of a Complying Development Certificate Policy on deferred or periodic payments Council may accept the deferred or periodic payment of part or all of a monetary contribution required under this Plan if the applicant, or any other person entitled to act upon the relevant consent, makes a written request and can satisfy the Council that non-compliance with the payment provisions is justified.
