Amendment C239melt to the Melton Planning Scheme
The Plumpton & Kororoit Infrastructure Contributions Plan has been updated and was approved by the Minister for Planning and gazetted on 3 November 2023 under Amendment C239melt to the Melton Planning Scheme.
Minor changes to the Plumpton & Kororoit Infrastructure Contributions Plan were required following gazettal of Amendment C236melt to the Melton Planning Scheme on 20 April 2023. Amendment C236melt, prepared by Melton City Council, introduced and applied a Public Acquisition Overlay to part of land at 206-388 Beattys Road, Fraser Rise, to facilitate land acquisition for the Plumpton Aquatic Facility (Indoor Recreation – Aquatic Centre), in accordance with the Plumpton Precinct Structure Plan.
Amendment C239melt makes the following changes to the Plumpton & Kororoit Infrastructure Contributions Plan to reduce ambiguity regarding apportionment and acquisition of land:
- Amend Table 8 to replace IR-01 with IR-01A and remove references to land to be acquired by Melton City Council; and
- Amend Plan 5 and 6 updated to replace IR-01 with IR-01A and IR-01B to identify boundary of land to be acquired.
Additionally, the land credit and equalisation amounts specified in the Plumpton & Kororoit Infrastructure Contributions Plan have been revised to incorporate the latest land valuations, which have passed the third year since they were first gazetted. These valuations were prepared by Melton City Council following the guidelines of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the Ministerial Direction on the Preparation and Content of Infrastructure Contributions Plans.
Finally, the Amendment C239melt includes updated construction costs for infrastructure items indexed to the 2023/24 financial year, resulting in increased levies for residential, commercial, and industrial development compared to the version of the ICP gazetted in 2019. The purpose of these changes is to ensure clarity in compensation matters and the land acquisition process without impacting the levies payable.

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 the Plumpton and Kororoit Precinct Structure Plans. These were approved by the Minister for Planning and gazetted in February 2018.
Together, the Precinct Structure Plans (PSP) and Infrastructure Contributions Plan will guide and deliver new urban development in the area.
