On 24 March 2020, City of Ryde Council adopted two (2) new Development Contributions Plans under Section 7.11 and 7.12 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979. The new contributions plans came into effect on 1 July 2020.
After 12 months of operation, Council’s Section 7.11 Developer Contributions Plan 2020 requires some minor amendments.
The amendments include correction of some typographic errors throughout the document and providing greater explanation around the exemption to Social Housing, Affordable Housing and Key Worker Housing. Essentially the amendment clarifies that Social Housing, Affordable Housing and Key Worker Housing is only exempt from Section 7.11 Developer Contributions if it is being dedicated to Council. The exemption was originally put in place to ensure Council was not double dipping by charging a Section 7.11 Developer Contribution when these types housing were being dedicated. The amendment now provides greater clarity in regard to when the exemption applies and doesn’t apply.
Council is exhibiting the Section 7.11 Developer Contributions Plan (Version 1.1) from Friday 18 June to Friday 16 July 2021.
