Works-in-Kind Agreements
A Works-in-Kind Agreement (WIKA) is an agreement entered into between Council and a developer to deliver local infrastructure such as roads, cycleways, footpaths, community facilities, recreation etc. identified in our development contributions plan instead of paying full or partial payment of a section 7.11 monetary contribution. A WIKA can only be considered where the works are identified in the works schedule of our local development contributions plan. These works would otherwise be delivered by Council using funds collected.
You may view WIKAs entered into by Council below.
A copy of our WIKA template is provided below for you to use when preparing a WIKA:
