Growth Areas Contribution Plan - Amendment 4

Exhibition period: 22 November 2023 to 6 February 2024

Camden Council has prepared a draft Planning Proposal for the Leppington Town Centre. The draft Planning Proposal includes a new masterplan, proposed changes to the planning controls (e.g., zones, heights, etc) through maps and written legislation, and supporting studies.

An update of the Leppington Town Centre precinct (formerly Leppington North) works schedule within the Camden Growth Areas Contribution Plan (CGACP) is required in response to the draft Planning Proposal.

The draft Amendment 4 to the CGACP would allow for the delivery of approximately $860 million of local infrastructure to service the community, such as additional:

  • roads and upgraded intersections;
  • open space including playing fields, civic parks and a lineal plaza; and
  • drainage infrastructure.

The existing Leppington precinct works schedule has also been updated to reflect current values of listed items. No other additions were made.

NOTE: The Plan relating to Leppington and Leppington North (now referred to as Leppington Town Centre) was last amended in October 2019 following the IPART review for this section of the plan.

Camden Growth Areas Contributions Plan

Exhibition period: 28 March to 24 April 2023

The Camden Growth Areas Contributions Plan was initially prepared in February 2017 for precincts rezoned for urban development at that time. The plan is amended as new precincts emerge to include the contributions arrangements for these areas.

The Plan was last amended in December 2022, and a third amendment is now proposed.

BACKGROUND

The Lowes Creek Maryland precinct was rezoned in July 2021 to accommodate approximately 7,000 new dwellings.

Camden Growth Areas Contributions Plan – Amendment 3 has been prepared considering the Lowes Creek Maryland rezoning and seeks to deliver approximately $444 million of local infrastructure to service the community. The infrastructure includes:

  • Open space;
  • Roads;
  • Water quality management; and
  • Land for community facilities.

Amendment 3 will enable Council to levy contributions from development in the Lowes Creek Maryland precinct to fund the delivery of this infrastructure. Amendment 3 removes the obligation for Camden Council’s contribution plan to collect for and deliver the sub arterial roads. These roads will now be delivered under the State Governments contribution scheme.

Voluntary Planning Agreement

143-149 Ingleburn Road, Leppington

Exhibition period: 21 March to 11 April 2023

The site at 143-149 Ingleburn Road, Leppington has two active Development Application (DA) consents for the combined creation of 60 residential lots. The proponent for the site provided a letter of offer to Camden Council requesting that a Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) for the dedication of drainage and open space land within their site be considered.

Camden Council considered this proposal on 14 March 2023 and resolved to place the matter on public exhibition for a period of 28 days. The associated Council report and VPA are provided below.

At the conclusion of the exhibition period, any unresolved submissions received will be reported back to Council for consideration. If no unresolved submissions are received during the exhibition period, the draft VPA will be executed.

BACKGROUND

Under the provisions of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Council has the power to require development contributions toward the cost of providing services and facilities to meet the demand generated by the development. Council has a number of Contributions Plans that require contributions toward the provision of open space, recreation facilities, community facilities, roads, drainage and other community infrastructure.

Voluntary Planning Agreements provide opportunities for developers to deliver infrastructure for the community much earlier than Council would often be able to achieve, as they are already constructing works on site. By constructing works, developers can offset the development contributions they would otherwise be required to pay to Council.

This agreement applies to all requests to carry out works in full or part satisfaction of conditions of consent requiring development contributions to be made to Council.
