About the Infrastructure Contributions Plan
An Infrastructure Contributions Plan (ICP) is the primary method for local councils to collect funds to contribute towards the basic and essential local infrastructure new suburbs require.
The type and location of the local infrastructure, including public land, has been identified in the Beveridge Central Precinct Structure Plan. Together, the Beveridge Central Precinct Structure Plan and ICP will guide and deliver new urban development in the Beveridge area.
The merits and designs of the infrastructure items have been included in the Beveridge Central Precinct Structure Plan and have been subject to a publicly deliberated and resolved process in accordance with the Planning & Environment Act 1987.
Therefore, the current ICP amendment will not further consider the merits nor strategic need for each infrastructure item as this was resolved through the Precinct Structure Plan process. Instead, the purpose of Amendment C145 is to provide detail on the costings and specification of each of the required infrastructure items.
Planning Panel
The Planning Panel hearing report for the Beveridge Central Infrastructure Contribution Plan has now been released. The Panel has made two recommendations, which the VPA is currently considering prior to finalising this amendment and will update all parties on the process in due course.
