Development Contributions

The funding of local infrastructure is assisted in part by developer contributions known as Section 94 or Section 94A contributions. Councils in NSW have the ability to levy developers for contributions towards local infrastructure under the Environmental and Planning Assessment Act (EP&A).

Council has two Development Contribution Plans. The plans supersede the Parramatta Comprehensive Section 94 Contributions Plan.

Voluntary Planning Agreements

Voluntary Planning Agreements (VPA's) may be accepted as an alternative to development contributions. A VPA is an agreement entered into by Council and a developer during Council's consideration of rezoning application (planning proposal) or development application. VPA's can either be in lieu of or in addition to a development contribution payment and this will be negotiated as part of the VPA. Council has adopted the Parramatta Voluntary Planning Agreements. Policy can be viewed below.
