Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979

In relation to an application made to a registered certifier for a complying development certificate, a contributions plan—

is to specify whether or not the registered certifier must, if a complying development certificate is issued, impose a condition under section 7.11 or 7.12, and

can only authorise the imposition by a registered certifier of a condition under section 7.11 that requires the payment of a monetary contribution, and

must specify the amount of the monetary contribution or levy that a registered certifier must so impose or the precise method by which the amount is to be determined.

The imposition of a condition by a registered certifier as authorised by a contributions plan is subject to compliance with any directions given under section 7.17(1)(a), (b) or (d) with which a council would be required to comply if issuing the complying development certificate concerned.

This section does not limit anything for which a contributions plan may make provision in relation to a consent authority.

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to anything for which a contributions plan may make provision under this section (being provisions that apply despite anything to the contrary in the contributions plan). The regulations may provide that the amount of a monetary contribution or levy be determined in a manner and by a person or body authorised by the regulations.
