M1992-04 Contributions Requested By Local Government and Statutory Authorities from NSW Government Agencies Undertaking Developments

Detailed Outline

Many Government agencies when undertaking developments have been asked for contributions by Local Government and Statutory Authorities to infrastructure works associated with NSW Government Capital Works projects. It has been the policy of NSW Governments for many years to resist these demands and in particular, to resist creating precedents or a policy of accepting these claims.

However, in a few cases Ministers have occasionally allowed contributions towards infrastructure provided by Local Government or Statutory Authorities.

Under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, the Minister for Planning is empowered to determine disputes between Government Agencies undertaking developments and Local Government seeking contributions either on its own behalf or at the request of Statutory Authorities.

This Memorandum confirms that Ministers are not to accede to these demands, except in very special circumstances. In these special circumstances, if the matter still cannot be resolved by negotiation, then the Minister for Planning will make a determination.

Yours sincerely

Nick Greiner MP
