Works in Kind Policy

The City of Coffs Harbour (the City) is responsible for providing infrastructure such as local roads, water, sewer and drainage networks, active transport links (footpaths and bike paths), recreation facilities such as parks, playgrounds and sports fields and other community facilities.  These facilities are partly funded through s7.11 contributions and charges imposed by a Development Consent, including complying development.

A Works in Kind (WIK) agreement (Agreement) is a voluntary agreement between the City and a developer of land in the City’s local government area. An Agreement requires the developer to undertake works, or part of works, included in a Contributions Plan or a Development Servicing Plan. These works are in full or part satisfaction of payment of s7.11 contributions or development servicing charge imposed in the Development Consent or Complying Development Certificate.

The purpose of this policy is to outline the City’s requirements for developers who offer to enter into an Agreement.
