  • 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.
