"Not just all houses" : homebuyer preferences and developer contributions in new release areas in Sydney

Kay J. Anderson, Anne Hurni

Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

This study investigates homebuyer knowledge and preferences for facilities supplied through Section 94 (S.94) Development Contributions at three sites in suburban Sydney. In the context of debate about the use of the developer levy mechanism for funding community services, it is timely to explore the assumptions underlying decision making about what facilities are to be provided through this mechanism. On the one hand, developers have raised concerns about the limits, and intergenerational equity, of an expanding “shopping list” to be funded up front through S.94 contributions, while councils have been concerned about funding to meet expanding community expectations.
