1. I support the concept of a Special Infrastructure Contribution as a method of addressing current and future infrastructure needs arising from densification of the St Leonards and Crows Nest precinct.
2. I do not think the current model will work because:
• the level of development required to meet the $113.6 mill fund target can only be achieved through unacceptably high levels of residential development • this residential development will render impossible the delivery of the employment space capacity foreshadowed by relevant planning documents • the scale of residential development required to meet the $113.6 mill target will create further massive infrastructure stress that will necessitate a full review of the Special Infrastructure Contribution funding model or major government investment to avoid a planning disaster in the precinct • the proposed allocation of funds derived from the Special Infrastructure is not fair and equitable as between the three LGAs in the precinct
3. I request that the proposed Special Infrastructure Contribution model be reviewed to address my concerns outlined above in conjunction with an overall review of infrastructure requirements.
