About the Infrastructure Contributions Plan
An Infrastructure Contributions Plan (ICP) is the primary method for local councils to collect funds to contribute towards the basic and essential local infrastructure new suburbs require.
The type and location of the local infrastructure, including public land, has been identified in Minta Farm Precinct Structure Plan. This was approved and gazetted in January 2019. Together, the Minta Farm Precinct Structure Plan and ICP will guide and deliver new urban development in the area.
To read about the Minta Farm Precinct Structure Plan, refer to:
The merits and designs of the infrastructure items have been included in the PSP and have been subject to a publicly deliberated and resolved process in accordance with the Planning & Environment Act 1987.
Therefore, the current ICP amendment will not further consider the merits nor strategic need for each infrastructure item as this was resolved through the Precinct Structure Process. Instead, the purpose of Amendment C269 is to provide detail on the costings and specification of each of the required infrastructure items.
