What is a Development Contributions Plan and Development Contributions Plan Overlay?
Development contributions are payments or in-kind works, facilities or services provided by developers towards the supply of infrastructure required to meet the future needs of the community.
A Development Contributions Plan (DCP) sets contribution rates and outlines how future residents, visitors and workers will be provided with timely access to the services and infrastructure they need.
A Development Contributions Plan Overlay identifies the land that is subject to a DCP. The approved planning scheme amendment includes a Development Contributions Plan Overlay which supersedes the interim overlay and introduces new rates in accordance with the DCP.
