The Victorian Planning Authority proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely.

We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us.

We embrace the spirit of reconciliation, working towards the equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice.

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.
