Works in kind agreements

A Works in Kind (WIK) agreement is a voluntary agreement between the City and a developer.

A WIK agreement requires for a developer to undertake works, or part of works, that are included in a S7.11 Contributions Plan or a Development Servicing Plan. These works are undertaken in full or part satisfaction of payment of a charge imposed in a development consent or complying development certificate. 

These agreements are made under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Water Management Act 2000.
