PUBLIC NOTE: CLARIFICATION ON THE KENWICK SOUTH STRUCTURE PLAN AND THE $252,000 CONTRIBUTION CLAIM
After reviewing the Kenwick South Structure Plan in full, including Sections 1.0 (Introduction), 2.0 (Site Analysis), 3.0 (Opportunities and Constraints), 4.0 (Design Principles), 5.0 (Land Use and Density), 6.0 (Movement Network), 7.0 (Public Open Space), and 8.0 (Servicing), I confirm that there is no clause, schedule, map, or requirement that imposes any development contribution or financial charge on Lot 701 (8 Stafford Road, Kenwick) for the construction of three modular homes.
Section 8.3 (Sewer and Water Servicing) only outlines general servicing principles and does not create any per‑lot financial obligation.
The Structure Plan contains:
– No Development Contribution Plan (DCP)
– No cost‑sharing schedule
– No contribution area map
– No reference to any $252,000 charge
Therefore, the Structure Plan provides no statutory or policy basis for the $252,000 contribution figure mentioned by planner Kevin. This public note is published for transparency, accuracy, and community understanding.

公开说明：关于 Kenwick South 结构规划与 252,000 澳元费用的澄清
我已经完整审阅了《Kenwick South 结构规划》的所有章节，包括： 1.0（简介）、2.0（场地分析）、3.0（机会与限制）、4.0（设计原则）、 5.0（土地用途与密度）、6.0（交通网络）、7.0（公共开放空间）、8.0（基础设施服务）。
在整个文件中，没有任何条款、附表、地图或要求规定 Lot 701（8 Stafford Road, Kenwick） 在建设三间模块化住宅时必须支付任何开发费用或基础设施费用。
第 8.3 节（污水与供水服务）仅说明一般性服务原则， 并未对任何单一地块设定收费义务。
该结构规划文件中：
– 没有开发贡献计划（DCP）
– 没有费用分摊表
– 没有贡献区域地图
– 没有提及 252,000 澳元的收费
因此，该结构规划并不支持规划人员 Kevin 所提及的 252,000 澳元费用。 此公开说明旨在确保透明度、准确性与社区理解。

Dear Ashleigh,
Thank you for your detailed explanation.
I appreciate the clarification that the Kenwick South Structure Plan Development Contribution Plan (DCPR) is currently in draft form, under review, and not yet adopted by Council.
To ensure accuracy and compliance with the Planning and Development Act 2005, the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, and State Planning Policy 3.6, could you please confirm the following:
1. Has the draft DCPR for DCA 8 been formally adopted by Council as an interim DCPR?
2. If so, could you please provide:
• the Council resolution number,
• the date of adoption,
• the adopted interim contribution rate per square metre,
• the adopted cost apportionment methodology,
• and the published interim DCPR document.
3. If the draft DCPR has not been adopted by Council, could you please confirm the statutory basis on which the City is requiring an interim contribution for 8 Stafford Road?
As you would appreciate, a draft DCPR that is still undergoing engineering review does not yet establish a finalised contribution rate or methodology. For this reason, I would be grateful for confirmation of the specific statutory instrument that authorises the imposition of the interim amount of $65,988.08.
Once I receive the above information, I will be in a position to proceed with full clarity.
Kind regards,
Nicholas N. Chin
on behalf of Jimmy C. W. Chin
