Planning Scheme Amendment C164 - Maribyrnong DCP
The Maribyrnong Development Contribution Plan (DCP) was prepared to help fund new infrastructure, replace or upgrade existing infrastructure to meet the needs of our growing community. It requires developers to pay a contribution towards local infrastructure like roads, bike paths, open space upgrades, and some community facilities.
About the Amendment
Amendment C164 amended the Maribyrnong Planning Scheme by:
- Inserting Schedule 2 to Clause 45.06 Development Contributions Plan Overlay
- Amending the Schedule to Clause 72.06 to include the Maribyrnong Development Contributions Plan 2021 into the list of Incorporated Documents
- Applying DCPO2 maps over the municipality and listing them in the Schedule to Clause 72.06
The DCP applies to all land in the City of Maribyrnong except Commonwealth land and some exemptions. All new developments that add dwellings and/or create new commercial, retail or industrial floor area are subject to the DCP.
The DCP would help to fund 193 projects with a total project cost of $144 million (in 2019 dollars). It ensures the cost of delivering infrastructure is fairly and reasonably apportioned between existing and new development.
The DCP has two components, the Development Infrastructure Levy (DIL) and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) which are payable at different key milestones during the planning and development process.
The preparation of the DCP was guided by Victorian Government legislation and guidelines, and was informed by various Council policies, strategies and plans.
