- Development contributions
New additional residential and commercial developments place additional demand on our infrastructure such as our road network, community facilities and parks.
The Council charges development contributions to ensure developers pay a fair share of the cost of providing additional infrastructure to service growth demand.
About development contributions
New residential and commercial developments make demands on the City's resources and services such as the transport network, water supply and parks.
Development contributions policy
How development contributions are calculated and charged, and what assets the Council has or will provide.
Assessments and charges
The amount you have to pay depends on the property's location, and how many household equivalent units (HUEs) of demand your development project may add.
Development contributions rebate schemes
The Council has three development contributions rebate schemes to promote development that benefits the wider community.
Estimate of development contributions charge
You can get an estimate of your development contributions from us or use our Development Contributions estimator.
Reconsideration or objection to assessment
Process for the reconsideration of a development contribution assessment.
Development contributions catchment maps
