What is a development contributions plan (DCP)?

A development contributions plan (DCP) establishes a framework for developers to make a financial contribution towards the cost of key infrastructure projects, providing certainty for the future community around infrastructure timing, funding and delivery.

Developers will contribute towards necessary projects such as road infrastructure, drainage, sports reserves and community facilities through a per hectare rate or Development Infrastructure Levy.

Together, the PSP and DCP will provide a broad framework that will coordinate development and assist in the transition of the area from its current farming land and rural character into an urban residential area for Ballarat North.
