What we'll do

We'll:

  • Investigate opportunities to create a fairer system for industry to contribute to funding for local infrastructure parks and services
  • Implement a new pilot developer contributions system in Activity Centres across Melbourne where more homes will be delivered near transport, jobs and services over coming years.
  • Recommend amending the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

Why this action is important

We want to ensure new and growing suburbs that build more homes get more funding for the facilities and services they need, including roads, parks, paths, neighbourhood houses, public libraries and other community spaces.

In some parts of the state, particularly greenfield areas, people wait too long for community facilities in their local area because of funding constraints.

Responsibility

  • Department of Transport (DTP)
  • Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF)
