Residents of Leeton Shire are encouraged to share their experiences of access to local health services through a health services survey conducted by Rural Doctors Network.
Key strategic documents that outline Council’s commitment to maintaining and building a strong, vibrant and sustainable future for the Leeton Shire community are now on public exhibition following endorsement by Council at its first Ordinary meeting in May.
Developments that lead to an increase in the local population, visitation or traffic will usually be required to pay development contributions. These contributions are known as Section 7.12 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
Council will invest the funds collected from development contributions to upgrade infrastructure, services, recreation and community facilities, to support the growth of developed areas.
Council has two plans relating to development contributions.
Leeton Shire Council adopted the Developer Contribution Plan (Fixed Levy - Section 7.12)(PDF, 366KB) on 1 June 2023.
The Plan applies to all development throughout Leeton Shire over $100,000.
Please read the Developer Contribution Plan (Fixed Levy - Section 7.12)(PDF, 366KB) and attach the relevant cost summary form to your Development Application.
The Leeton and Yanco Peripheral Area Contributions Plan(PDF, 417KB) remains active in regard to Section 64 of the Local Government Act 1993 and Division 2 of Part 3 of the Water Supply Authorities Act 1997.
