What is an Infrastructure Contributions Overlay?
The Infrastructure Contributions Overlay (ICO) outlines requirements for monetary and/or land contributions within a specific area, often to secure land for public open space, sports grounds, community facilities and key infrastructure such as roads and intersections. Typically prepared by a planning authority like a municipal council or the Minister for Planning, its creation and approval follow guidelines set by the Planning and Environment Act and ministerial directives.
