Council Report - Section 94 Contribution
If you’re a developer about to start your next project, chances are you’ve come across the term “Section 94 Council Report” and wondered what it’s all about? This is an important document in the development sector and understanding it can make all the difference in your project’s success.
A Section 94 Cost Summary Report – or Section 7.11 Report for NSW residents – is a document that provides a detailed estimate of your development project costs. A development contributions plan overlay is often incorporated as a schedule to Section 94 in a planning scheme, and it outlines the requirements for the preparation and approval of a DCP as set out by the Planning and Environment Act and the Ministerial direction.
