Infrastructure Charges & Infrastructure Planning

Infrastructure Charges resolution and register

Infrastructure charges are charges levied by Council on development that increases the demand on Council’s trunk infrastructure networks. The trunk infrastructure networks maintained by Council include water, sewer, stormwater, transport and parks. The type, size and scale of infrastructure that is considered trunk infrastructure, are specified by Council’s Local Government Infrastructure Plan.

Infrastructure charges make a contribution towards the capital works of expanding, maintaining or replacing infrastructure based on the increased demand of development on Council’s trunk infrastructure networks.

Infrastructure charges are levied by attaching an Infrastructure Charges Notice to a Development Approval for a Material Change of Use (starting a new land use on a property or increasing the scale of an existing land use on a property) or Reconfiguring a Lot (increasing the number of lots).

Infrastructure charges detailed within an Infrastructure Charges Notice are calculated in accordance with the Infrastructure Charges Resolution in effect at the time the application is lodged with Council.

The applicant is required to pay the infrastructure charges detailed within the Infrastructure Charges Notice (attached to the Decision Notice) following a development approval, as follows:

  • infrastructure charges are required to be paid when the change of land use occurs on the property for a Material Change of Use; or
  • when a Plan of Survey is submitted to Council for endorsement, for a development approval for Reconfiguring a Lot.
