Mr Cook said his client has been lumped with a $150,000 section 94 contribution fee and didn't understand why other businesses have had theirs waived or reduced, while they still had to pay.

The proposed Rhino Lodge Reception and Function Facility had already had their contributions reduced from $193,660 to $154,861, but Mr Cook said it was not enough.

Council's acting director environmental services Stephen Wallace said developer contributions were levied by council to offset impacts on public infrastructure and ensure adequate infrastructure is in place to meet the future demands of users.

"In accordance with council's adopted plans, council may consider adjustment or waiver of Section 94 contributions as they apply to individual applications. However, a specific application to modify/review a development application must first be made to council," Mr Wallace said.

In July, cafe Stone's Throw had about $7,000 in contributions waived, while Flip Out Dubbo had their fees drastically reduced from almost $150,000 to $300.

Mr Wallace said Stone's Throw and Flip Out both made applications to have their contributions modified.

In an email to councillors, Mr Cook said he would like his clients case to be afforded the same treatment received by Stone's Throw and Flip Out.

"Our client is not being fairly treated, especially given the recent discussions by council as a whole, who voted to completely waiver the contributions from Stone's Throw and reducing the sum of $147,584 from Flip Out to a mere $299.97," Mr Cook said.

"Where is the fairness, justice and equality being offered to our client? It is simply non-existent."

Abacus Planning principal planner Wayne McDonald said the overall cumulative traffic flow at Camp Road suggested the current level of infrastructure was adequate to facilitate the additional traffic demands resulting from the proposed development.

"While the developer is not adverse to making appropriate contribution towards improvements to the road network, the amount sought by council does not equate equitably or fairly to the proposal and appears unfairly weighted towards provision or argumentation of facilities within the built up area of Dubbo where there is little to no benefit attributable to the site context, setting and location of the proposed development," he said.

Mr McDonald said the amount of contribution should be waived, or at least a very significant reduction should be made to equate to a more appropriate demand usage.
