Amendment VC249

The Development Contributions Plan (DCP) for this precinct was amended as a result of Amendment VC249. 

On 15 January 2024, Amendment VC249 came into effect to further facilitate the development of small second dwellings introduced by Amendment VC253. Amendment VC249 exempts development for a small second dwelling from existing development contributions plans. The changes ensure an applicant does not pay a development contribution when a small second dwelling is developed.
