Draft Local Contributions Plan 2026
Upper Lachlan Shire Council’s previous development contributions frameworks have guided how development contributes towards local public infrastructure, amenities and services.
The Draft Upper Lachlan Shire Local Contributions Plan 2026 updates this framework to reflect today’s planning environment, current infrastructure needs and updated population forecasts.
The Draft Plan provides a contemporary and consistent basis for Council to collect contributions from development towards the delivery of infrastructure and community facilities required to support growth across the Shire.
The Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021, providing an updated statutory framework for development contributions in Upper Lachlan Shire.
Overall, the Draft Plan aims to ensure that new development makes an appropriate contribution towards the infrastructure and services needed to support current and future communities.
