Moonee Valley Development Contributions Plan

If you already have existing planning and building permits, completed construction and subdivided your development before February 10 2022, the DIL and CIL will not apply.

If you require a building permit and it is issued after the approval of the DCP, you will be required to pay both the Community and Development Infrastructure Levies.

If you amend your planning or building permit you may be required to pay the levies.

If you amend your planning or building permit you may be required to pay the levies.

If you require a subdivision permit and it is issued after the DCP has been incorporated into the Moonee Valley Planning Scheme, you will be required to pay the Development Infrastructure Levy.

All new development proposing to increase the number of dwellings and/or increase leasable commercial, retail or industrial floor area are required to pay the levy.

In these instances both levies are payable before the start of any works.

Moonee Valley has been divided into 18 charge areas (Figure 1). Each charge area attracts an individual levy for the type of development.

The amount a development contributes varies depending on the area where the development is proposed and the type of development (i.e residential, retail, commercial or industrial). The amounts are included in Schedule 1 of the Development Contributions Plan Overlay, Clause 45.06s, of the Moonee Valley Planning Scheme.

For example: An applicant in charge area 1 proposes to retain an existing dwelling and construct a new dwelling. For one new dwelling, the charge area requires the payment of $1,190 towards Community Infrastructure and $1,273.20 towards Development Infrastructure. The total levy payable is $2,463.20.

The Development Infrastructure Levy is adjusted annually on 1 July by applying the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The Community Infrastructure Levy is adjusted annually using the Producer Price Index for Non- Residential Building Construction in Victoria.

You can access the development contributions calculator, located on Council’s website, to find an estimate of the levy amount to pay. Please submit a request for an invoice and allow up to 7 business days for processing.
