Developer Contributions
Each of the PSP areas has an associated Development Contributions Plan, which outlines the infrastructure projects required to service new communities, and the levy which developers pay to contribute towards the cost of those projects.
The Unit manages these financial contributions and ensures that projects are delivered in accordance with the PSP.
The development infrastructure levy is currently indexed to July 2025 for construction costs and July 2025 for land values. Construction and land infrastructure costs will be indexed in accordance with the Construction and land value costs and indexation contained in the DCP for Rockbank North, Melton North, Diggers Rest, Taylors Hill West, Toolern and Rockbank.
The construction cost for each infrastructure item will be adjusted on 1 January each year for Rockbank North DCP, Melton North DCP and Diggers Rest DCP and 1 July each year for Toolern DCP and Rockbank DCP and 1 September each year for Taylors Hill West DCP by applying the Rawlinsons Building Price Index.
The land value will be adjusted each year following site specific land valuations which are undertaken by a registered valuer.
Each DCP has different infrastructure levy rates which are indexed annually please refer to the table below.
