Make a Payment

The Development Contributions Plan (DCP) helps fund two types of infrastructure:

1. Development Infrastructure including:

• community facilities for maternal and child health services and childcare.
• open space improvements such as:
  • landscaping
  • shared paths
  • playgrounds
  • recreation equipment
  • car parks
• public realm improvements such as footpaths, tree planting and street furniture
• road renewals and upgrades, traffic management devices, walking and cycling paths, pedestrian-operated signals and accessible parking.

2. Community Infrastructure including:

• works for all other buildings or facilities used for community purposes such as community hubs and multi-purpose pavilions.

The DCP includes 556 projects and is anticipated to collect approximately $71 million of the estimated total cost of these projects, which is approximately $381.1 million.

Council will be responsible for delivering these projects through to 2040.

You can view the full list of projects in the Moonee Valley Development Contributions Plan.

If a planning permit is issued after the approval of the DCP, you will be required to pay the Development Infrastructure Levy.

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.

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 (see DCP calculator image). 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.

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 this webpage, to find out how much you have to pay.

Alternatively, when you lodge your planning or building permit application, Council will provide you with an indication of the amount that you will need to pay. Confirmation of the exact amount will be provided when the planning or subdivision permit is issued or when a building surveyor is appointed.
