Development contribution

The Development Contribution depends on the nature of your build.

Non-residential development

The Development Infrastructure Levy:

• is charged per m² of retail, commercial or industrial floorspace
• must be paid before a building permit is issued.

Residential development

The Development Infrastructure Levy and Community Infrastructure Levy:

• are charged per dwelling
• must be paid before a building permit is issued.

A Development Contribution is not required if all 3 of your permits were issued before 4 October 2019:

1. planning permit for development
2. subdivision permit
3. building permit for development

Exceptions

If you do not have a planning permit and a building permit issued before 4 October 2019, a development contribution is required and must be paid before a building permit is issued.

If you have a planning permit and a building permit issued before 4 October 2019, but no subdivision permit, then a development contribution is required for only the development infrastructure levy.
