This Plan precedence over any of Council’s Codes and Policies where there are any inconsistencies in relation to Section 94 Contributions. Other contributions plans may also apply to development covered by this plan. (For example, Shire-Wide Contributions Plan) 1.6 Definitions For the purposes of this plan, a “Development Unit (DU)” is defined as equivalent to a three bedroom residential dwelling. Where development other than a three bedroom dwelling is proposed, an equivalent contribution factor based on a proportion of DU will need to be calculated in accordance with Table 2. For the purposes of this plan, “Net Developable Area (NDA)” is expressed in hectares and is the actual area on which a development could be sited. NDA excludes land for trunk drainage, roads, open space, community facilities, noise buffers, undevelopable lands and certain major non-residential land uses. “Secondary dwelling means a self-contained dwelling that: is established in conjunction with another dwelling (the principal dwelling), and is on the same lot of land as the principal dwelling, and is located within, or is attached to, or is separate from, the principal dwelling, and has a total floor area (excluding any area used for parking) that does not exceed 60m2. Note: As per definition in the draft Wyong Local Environmental Plan 2012. 1.7 What Types of Development will be Levied? Unless otherwise stated within the various schemes, the contribution rates contained within this plan will be levied upon any type of development or subdivision of land within the relevant catchment. Table 2 summarises the types of development which will be required to contribute towards the various contribution categories. 1.8 When is the Contribution Payable? A contribution must be paid to the Council at the time specified in the condition that imposes the contribution. If no such time is specified, the timing of the payment of the contribution is as follows: development applications involving subdivision – prior to release of subdivision certificates development applications involving building works – prior to the release of the construction certificate development applications where no building approval is required – at the time of development consent In regard to the latter case, the applicant may make a cash payment of contributions prior to issue of the development consent or alternatively lodge a suitable bank guarantee, also prior to issue of the consent. This bank guarantee will be called up upon commencement of the consent.
