What is the Community Infrastructure Development Contribution Plan?
The Shire’s Community Infrastructure Development Contribution Plan acknowledges the fact that new residential development places additional pressure on existing community facilities, as well as generating the need for additional and expanded community facilities.
Through a shared partnership between Shire funding and developer contributions, the Shire can ensure necessary community infrastructure is provided at the right time and scale in response to growth occurring.
When will community infrastructure be delivered?
The Shire is committed to delivering community infrastructure in a timely manner to meet the needs of residents and the broader community. A timeline for commencement of each project funded by this CIDCP is included as an appendix in the CIDCP Report attached above. This timeline is reviewed and updated if necessary, at each annual review of the CIDCP Report.
The Shire’s proposal is based upon equity and transparency, to ensure our community and the development industry can have full confidence in how funds are managed and infrastructure provided.
Who makes a contribution under the plan?
Landowners who choose to subdivide/develop more than one single dwelling on an existing lot will be required to make a contribution towards a shared funding arrangement for community infrastructure which has been identified as necessary to meet our new community needs.
The contribution is based on a “per lot/dwelling” basis for each additional residential lot/dwelling. The “per lot/dwelling” value is proportionately calculated based on the total infrastructure cost included for in the CIDCP, divided by the forecast total number of new residential lots/dwellings in a particular area.
The Shire currently funds the component of infrastructure demand from existing dwellings/population, and the contribution scheme (CIDCP) will fund the component of infrastructure demand, driven as a result of future growth.
Who will not make a contribution under the plan?
It will not apply to:
- Landowners who choose not to subdivide or develop more than one single dwelling on an existing lot.
- An existing vacant lot that is already created, and only has (or is planned to have) one single dwelling.
- Areas which fall outside the designated CIDCP area - Development Contribution Area 4 (DCA4).
