DCP Infrastructure categories

A DCP is required to make a distinction between 'development ' and 'community ' infrastructure.

Items of general community or social nature are classified as community infrastructure whilst all other infrastructure are classified as development infrastructure.

Contributions relating to community infrastructure are covered by a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) which is a levy capped at $1,530^ per dwelling, maximum. These funds contribute to facilities such as libraries, youth centres and sporting pavilions.

Contributions relating to development infrastructure are covered by a Development Infrastructure Levy (DIL) and will go towards a range of projects such as:

  • roads and public transport infrastructure
  • landscaping and streetscaping works
  • reservations, parks and sporting grounds
  • stormwater drainage, creek/river protection and water quality works
  • bike paths
  • kindergartens, childcare centres and maternal child and health facilities.
