Consultation has concluded

The Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan is being reviewed before being presented to a future meeting of Council for adoption.

Council has undertaken a review of its developer contributions plans with a view to update the existing suite to ensure they are in line with current best practice.

The key purpose of the review was to make the plans easier to implement, monitor, report on and easier to review and update in the future.

Along with developing the Kempsey Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan, Council also reviewed current its policies and procedures to make sure these aligned with the new plan. As a result, Council developed a Planning Agreement Policy and Works in Kind Policy.

The Kempsey Local Infrastructure Contribution Plan applies to the Kempsey Local Government Area excluding South West Rocks.

Council placed the draft Kempsey Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan, Planning Agreement Policy and Works in Kind Policy on public exhibition from 1 February to 28 February 2023.
