220 TfNSW may require roads authorities to contribute to costs of road work
(1) TfNSW may require the appropriate roads authority to pay to TfNSW the
whole, or such part as TfNSW may determine, of the costs incurred by TfNSW--
(a) in constructing drainage, kerbs and gutters, or
(b) in constructing,
widening and paving footways,
in connection with a classified road in the
Sydney metropolitan area.
(2) A council may be required to make a
contribution towards the construction of drainage even if part of the land
drained is outside the council's local government area.
(3) A contribution
that a roads authority is required to pay under this section must not exceed--
(a) in the case of the work of constructing drainage--the proportion of the
cost of the work which the discharge of stormwater from the area of the roads
authority outside the classified road bears to the total discharge of
stormwater from the total area to be served by the work, or
(b) in the case
of the work of constructing kerbs and gutters on the same side of the road as
adjoining privately owned land where there were previously no kerbs and
gutters or where the only kerbs and gutters were those in respect of which a
contribution had not previously been paid by an owner of the land--75 per cent
of the cost of the work, or
(c) in the case of the work of constructing kerbs
and gutters on the same side of the road as, and adjacent to, public open
space where there were previously no kerbs and gutters--50 per cent of the
cost of the work, or
(d) in the case of the work of constructing and paving
footways--100 per cent of the cost of the work.
(4) A contribution that a
roads authority is required to pay under this section may be recovered by
TfNSW, as a debt, in a court of competent jurisdiction.
