How is the precinct shared infrastructure to be delivered and funded?

Shared infrastructure includes things like key road upgrades, intersections, drainage, and services that benefit a development plan area, not just one site. To make sure this infrastructure is delivered fairly and on time, developers will be required to fund and deliver

these shared works. As land is developed, each developer must pay their fair share of the major upgrades required to support the precinct. This ensures that the cost of new infrastructure is covered by the developments (not the local community) that create the need for it.

Developers will be required to:

• Prepare a Shared Infrastructure Delivery and Funding Plan – This plan identifies the infrastructure needed to support the precinct (for example, major intersections or drainage upgrades) and how the costs will be split fairly between developers within a development plan area.
• Contribute to shared infrastructure costs – Each developer pays a share based on the scale of their development. In some cases, developers may also build part of the required infrastructure themselves instead of paying cash.
• Enter into agreements with Council or the State ensure that contributions are paid and shared works are delivered at the right time.

This approach ensures that no single developer carries the full cost, upgrades happen in a coordinated way, and the precinct grows with the infrastructure it needs.
