Developer contribution plans and registers

Contributions plans spell out how Council will assess, collect, spend and administer developer contributions.

Examples of infrastructure that can be funded by developer contributions include new or upgraded amenities, open space, community facilities and transport infrastructure.

The contribution is based on the type, location and cost of development. Contributions are allocated to capital projects in accordance with the works schedule in the contributions plan or Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA).
