The state’s planning department have instructed Northern Beaches Council to exhibit the methodology for local contributions in Frenchs Forest.
The NSW Government finalised the Frenchs Forest 2041 Place Strategy in December 2021. The strategy aims to delivery about 2000 dwellings and 47,000 square metres of retail and commercial floor space as phase 1 of the Northern Beaches Hospital Precinct Structure Plan. To facilitate the delivery of infrastructure to support this development, Council prepared and exhibited a new contributions plan.
Frenchs Forest Town Centre Contributions Plan 2022 was adopted by Council in May 2022. Under the ministerial direction, residential contribution rates are capped at $20,000 per dwelling until the contributions plan has been reviewed by the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal and approved by the Planning Minister.
