  • 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.

  • 1 Submission from Wollondilly Shire Council
    SUBMISSION FROM WOLLONDILLY SHIRE COUNCIL This submission provides comments on the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry into Australia’s Faunal extinction Crisis (the Inquiry). The comments are based on the experiences of Council Staff in the application of the Commonwealth biodiversity framework and consistent with applicable resolutions of Council. The submission welcomes the undertaking of the Inquiry by the Senate Committee, (the Committee), to investigate the adequacy of current Commonwealth process and Legislation as a means of identifying mechanisms to address declines in threatened fauna species However, the submission raises particular concern that the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry(ToR) do not specify or address factors causing this decline including clearance of habitat for development, which is a particular concern within the Wollondilly LGA. Part A: Background Information The following provides background information to subsequent comments on the individual Terms of Reference for the Inquiry in regard to related Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES), the experience of Council Staff with the Commonwealth legislative framework as well as applicable resolutions of Council. 1) Biodiversity within the Wollondilly Local Government Area of relevance to the Inquiry The emphasis of the Terms of Reference items for the Inquiry is recognised as being the reduction in fauna species classified as MNES under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). However, it is considered appropriate and warranted that the Committee investigate in detail causes of this decline including the impact of clearance of native vegetation on the habitat of threatened species and their movement. This is a particularly significant issue within the Wollondilly LGA as a consequence of current and projected high level of growth, particularly in regard to its koala population.
