• Ensuring that any condition requiring the payment of contributions has been satisfied.

When issuing Complying Development Certificates these obligations include:

• Calculating any required contribution in accordance with the applicable contributions plan; and
• Imposing a condition requiring the applicant to pay contributions before any work authorised by the certificate commences; and
• Ensuring that contributions have been paid before any work authorised by the certificate commences.
