Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor
UDIA NSW | 2020 Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor $2.7 billion is currently held as a restricted asset by Councils for the delivery of infrastructure • The current total balance of contributions held across the Greater Sydney megaregion is $2.7 billion, with the average amount held by a Council sitting at $56 million. • Every year new housing contributes almost $900 million to local infrastructure, Executive roads, stormwater, open space and community facilities across the Greater Sydney megaregion through the infrastructure charging framework. It is expected Summary that this infrastructure is built with the funds that are paid. • However, only 64% of the contributions that are paid for were spent in the last three years. Average Total Expenditure Total Income Balance E/I ($’000) ($’000) ($’000) Total 0.64 $650,679 $876,767 $2,653,316 Contributions Under a s7.11 0.85 $564,670 $711,912 $2,330,289 or s7.12 Under a s7.4 0.62 $41,640 $124,180 $259,501 The amount of unspent funding has increased over the past three years • Since FY16 total unspent contributions have increased 33% from $1.98 billion to over $2.65 billion. Executive • In the last year alone unspent contributions increased by 7.8%, or almost $191 million. Summary • Local Government must resolve local issues to ensure that infrastructure is actually provided on the ground. If necessary, the State Government should step-in to support Councils get infrastructure on the ground. Increased funding does not correlate to increased infrastructure delivery • The scatter graphs here show an extremely weak relationship between cash held and expenditure ratios. -

Top 10 Priorities Issue Paper 1 | P a G E
TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 City Plan Goals & Strategies 1 Outline of Priority (definition) 2 Overview of Priority in Fairfield 2 Responsibility for Roads 2 Condition of Roads in Fairfield City 3 Use of Roads 6 Method of travel to work, 2011 6 Key Stakeholders 6 What has been implemented over past four years? 7 NSW State Government 7 Fairfield City Council services and projects 8 Operational activities 9 Maintenance activities 9 Renewal work 9 New or upgrade works 9 Other Council Activities 11 Questions for future engagement 12 References 12 i INTRODUCTION The Fairfield City Plan 2012-2022 is a compilation of the local community’s vision, goals and priorities for Fairfield City over the next 10 years. It is important to stress that the City Plan is not the Council’s plan – it belongs to the community and it summarises their views on what is important to them for the future of our City. We all have an important role to play in delivering the future outcomes identified in the City Plan – all levels of government (Federal, State and Local), organisations, institutions, agencies as well as every local resident and business operator. The community came together in 2010 and again in 2012 to share their ideas about the future, and the City Plan includes a summary of that feedback in “The Top 10 Things We Would Like to See in Fairfield City by 2022”. Priority number 6 on that list is improved roads. CITY PLAN GOALS & STRATEGIES The City Plan defines Goal 3 – Our City is Accessible (in Theme 2 – Places & Infrastructure) as: Our City has affordable, accessible and integrated means for getting around that connects people with their destinations. -
Communication Licence Rent
Communication licences Fact sheet Communication licence rent In November 2018, the NSW Premier had the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) undertake a review of Rental arrangements for communication towers on Crown land. In November 2019, IPART released its final report to the NSW Government. To provide certainty to tenure holders while the government considers the report, implementation of any changes to the current fee structure will apply from the next renewal or review on or after 1 July 2021. In the interim, all communication tenures on Crown land will be managed under the 2013 IPART fee schedule, or respective existing licence conditions, adjusted by the consumer price index where applicable. In July 2014, the NSW Government adopted all 23 recommendations of the IPART 2013 report, including a rental fee schedule. Visit www.ipart.nsw.gov.au to see the IPART 2013 report. Density classification and rent calculation The annual rent for communication facilities located on a standard site depends on the type of occupation and the location of the facilities. In line with the IPART 2013 report recommendations, NSW is divided into four density classifications, and these determine the annual rent for each site. Table 1 defines these classifications. Annexure A further details the affected local government areas and urban centres and localities (UCLs) of the classifications. Figure 1 shows the location of the classifications. A primary user of a site who owns and maintains the communication infrastructure will incur the rent figures in Table 2. A co-user of a site will be charged rent of 50% that of a primary user. -
