Development contributions
Some work may require a financial contribution towards new and upgraded amenities for the people who will live and work in the area.
Important note
The Redfern-Waterloo Authority contributions plan 2006 was repealed by the NSW Government on 2 March 2023. The City of Sydney development contributions plan 2015 now applies where the Redfern-Waterloo contributions plan 2006 previously applied.
