The Central Coast Section 7.12 Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan is a strategic framework developed by Central Coast Council to manage and allocate funds collected from development contributions.

These contributions are essential for funding various infrastructure projects that support the growing needs of the community.

The plan ensures that new developments contribute financially to the infrastructure needs of the community, such as roads, parks, and community facilities.

Contributions are calculated based on the estimated cost of the infrastructure required to support new developments. The plan includes a detailed methodology for determining the amount each development must contribute.

The draft Central Coast Section 7.12 Local Infrastructure Contribution Plan includes amendments to the Schedule of Works to ensure alignment with the draft Operational Plan for the 2025/2026 Financial Year. The Section 7.12 Contributions Plan is amended on an annual basis to ensure consistency with the relevant Operational Plan.

Council is also repealing the following three Section 7.11 Contributions Plans and redirecting collected funds and some remaining projects to the Central Coast Section 7.12 Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan

  1. Contributions Plan No 47A - Terrigal – Local Open Space, Pedestrian Footpaths, Town Centre Improvements, Cycleways, Stormwater and Flood Mitigation
  2. Contribution Plan No 9 - Budgewoi District
  3. Contributions Plan No 5 - Ourimbah District
