Singleton Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan

The Singleton Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan commenced on 1 July 2025. It is a statutory plan that sets out the administrative framework for levying of local contributions under Section 7.11 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act 1979).

The SLIC Plan allows Council to impose conditions of consent requiring Section 7.11 contributions (including Section 7.11 Haulage) or Section 7.12 fixed rate levies on developments to which the Plan applies, for the provision of public services and amenities needed by the increased demand from new development.

The SLIC Plan also sets out the infrastructure needs of the community, with a focus on shared paths, improving local roads and supporting a vibrant town centre.

The SLIC Plan:

  • Incorporates updated population data and dwelling projections for the local government area
  • Focuses on delivering infrastructure that meets anticipated growth and future demand
  • Aligns the Works Schedule with adopted strategies, including the capital works program and strategic plans
  • Excludes infrastructure projects that have been completed or are no longer deemed necessary

Details of the contributions that apply to a specific development proposal will usually be detailed in the Notice of Determination of Development Consent for the Development Application or referenced in the Complying Development Certificate for Complying Development.

The levying of local contributions is an essential service to ensure adequate provision of infrastructure to serve the needs of our growing population.

 Singleton Development Contributions Plan 2008

At its commencement, the SLIC Plan repeals the Singleton Development Contributions Plan 2008 as well as any plans that were previously in force in the Singleton Local Government Area.

The SLIC Plan does not affect development consents or complying development certificates containing conditions requiring contributions or levies under repealed plans. Chapter 3.10 of the SLIC details the way in which funds that are yet to be collected under repealed plans will be spent. Chapter 3.11 details savings and transitional arrangements at the commencement of this Plan.
