Project information
Council has prepared the draft Central Coast Section 7.12 Local Infrastructure Contribution Plan 2023 for community consultation. The draft contribution plan, once finalised, will repeal and replace the:
- Central Coast Regional Section 7.12 Development Contribution Plan 2019,
- Shirewide Infrastructure, Services and Facilities Development Contribution Plan, and
- Civic Improvement Plan.
The draft Central Coast Section 7.12 Local Infrastructure Contribution Plan 2023 has been prepared to combine the remaining infrastructure requirements from three existing contributions plans.
The schedule of works has been broadened to include upgrades to sport grounds, parks, playspaces, skateparks, tennis facilities, community facilities, local centres upgrades, cycleways, traffic and transport projects, and projects within the Gosford City Centre such as funding for the Gosford Regional Library.
The updating of the contribution plans will not change the amount of Section 7.12 contributions levied on development as the maximum levy rate is set out in Section 209 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 as follows:
| Proposed cost of Development | Levy Rate |
| Up to and including $100,000 | NIL |
| More than $100,000 and up to and including $200,000 | 0.5% of the cost of development |
| More than $200,000 | 1% of the cost of development |
The exemptions provided in this policy have been superseded by legislation changes and Ministerial Directions and therefore the policy is no longer required.
