Ku-ring-gai Contributions Plan 2010
There are two contributions plans applicable to the Ku-ring-gai Council area:
Development contributions are made to a local Council when new developments are built. These are mainly monetary contributions, but larger developers can also deliver infrastructure as works-in-kind under a Planning Agreement.
Contributions are held in trust for community infrastructure and facilities where new developments have been built. These include libraries and community centres, parks and playgrounds, footpaths, street furniture and traffic improvements.
Under NSW legislation, Councils are required to prepare development contributions plans. The plans set out the level of contributions payable and a proposed works schedule.

Ku-ring-gai Contributions Plan 2010
Ku-ring-gai Contributions Plan 2010 applies to all development in Ku-ring-gai that creates a demand for the infrastructure identified in the Plan. This includes all forms of residential development that create additional dwellings - unless they are listed as exempt (refer to page 51 of the Plan).
The Plan takes a consolidated approach to providing infrastructure as a result of new development, with proportional contributions from new development for infrastructure for that development. The plan also identifies situations where Council must provide a contribution on behalf of the existing population, where new infrastructure will meet demand arising from the community as a whole.
New dwellings on vacant lots, dual occupancies, manor houses, medium density, high density, villas, townhouses and terraces, aged and disabled persons housing, seniors housing, residential flat buildings, units and mixed used developments, as well as non-private dwellings where additional dwellings will be created are all subject to a s7.11 contribution under Ku-ring-gai Contributions Plan 2010. Subdivisions are also subject to s7.11 contributions under the Plan.
Exempt development includes knock-down rebuilds; alterations and additions to existing dwelling houses and granny flats / secondary dwellings below 60sqm in size and subordinate to the main dwelling. Small scale residential development may still be the subject of a s7.12 contribution.
Specific types of low-cost affordable housing, such as boarding houses, may also be exempt. Please refer to pages 52-57 of the Plan which relates to merit exemptions.
Ku-ring-gai Contributions Plan 2010 also applies to commercial development in the local centres catchment areas, specified on the maps on pages 17 to 23 of the Plan. Catchment maps can be downloaded below.

Ku-ring-gai Contributions Plan 2010 - background
Ku-ring-gai Contributions Plan 2010 consolidates Ku-ring-gai's two previous Contributions Plans (Ku-ring-gai Section 94 Contributions Plan 2004-2009 - Residential Development - Amendment No. 2 and Ku-ring-gai Town Centres Development Contributions Plan 2008). The consolidation of the Contributions Plans active in Ku-ring-gai was a recommendation of the Contributions Review Panel which assessed these documents in 2009.
Contributions on consent conditions authorised under previous Contributions Plans continue to be payable and Council will expend contributions for the purposes specified in these conditions. Modifications under s4.55 to any active consent will continue to apply the Contributions Plan applicable at the date of consent.
