IPART established the Contributions Plan Forum in 2025, following our Review of IPART’s approach to assessing contributions plans.

Through our consultation on that review, we heard that stakeholders would appreciate more regular opportunities to engage with IPART. These forums will be open for any interested councils and developers, to provide more opportunities for stakeholders to engage with IPART on our role, processes and requirements for CP reviews. 

Forums will allow us to give guidance to councils on the CP application and review process and allow councils and other stakeholders to ask questions or raise other matters. We will hold forums online to make them accessible for stakeholders across NSW. 

Our first CP Forum will be held on Tuesday 29 July 2025 from 10am -12pm.

After the first Forum we will seek feedback on preferences for joint forums for all stakeholders or separate forums for councils and developers.
