Infrastructure is key to the liveability of communities and helps to create vibrant places. There are many ways infrastructure can be funded, including through infrastructure contributions by developers.
Developers make contributions to help deliver the infrastructure needed as communities grow, such as public open space, footpaths, cycleways, roads, social and community infrastructure and stormwater management.
Developers can contribute money, land, works-in-kind (delivering pieces of infrastructure) or a combination of these. Read the NSW infrastructure contributions – Guide (PDF, 1.6 MB) for more details.
