On 29 July 2025, IPART held its first Contributions Plan Forum, following our Review of IPART’s approach to assessing contributions plans. The purpose of the forums is to provide stakeholders with more regular opportunities to engage with IPART on our role, processes and requirements for contributions plan reviews. 

Over 100 stakeholders attended the forum, representing a range of NSW councils and property developers. Thank you to everyone who attended the forum and completed the post-forum feedback survey.

Based on your feedback, we plan to hold Contributions Plan Forums every 6 months. We will hold separate forums for councils and developers, and joint forums that are open to all stakeholders. Our next forum will be held in February 2026 with separate sessions for councils and developers. 

Please sign up to hear about our next Contributions Plan Forum.
