Council invites feedback on a proposed fee for multi-unit and commercial developers to support pre-construction coordination services and the delivery of public assets.
Background
Council’s Fees & Charges 2024/25, part of the Delivery Program & Operational Plan (DPOP) 2024/25, were first publicly exhibited from 24 April – 22 May 2024, and adopted by Council at its meeting of 24 June 2024.
An amendment is now proposed to the Fees & Charges 2024/25 to include a new fee for pre-construction coordination of developer-led infrastructure.
Proposal
At present, there are a number of detailed design considerations, inspections and approval processes that need to be followed after a development consent has been obtained or a voluntary planning agreement has been signed. These processes often run parallel to each other with no clear contact for developers.
A new Pre-construction Coordination fee is proposed to be levied for developers, which will support funding for a dedicated position in Council, with an objective to improve customer experience and community outcomes.
How to have your say
Details of the proposed fee are available on Participate Parramatta.
Submissions are welcome until 5pm on Thursday 17 October.
