Development Contributions

What is a Development Contribution Plan?

A Development Contribution Plan (DCP):

• Identifies essential infrastructure required for new communities.
• Enables Council to collect developer contributions to fund the required infrastructure.
• Ensures infrastructure costs are fairly shared by developers.

Latrobe City Council’s Approved Development Contribution Plans

Latrobe City Council has three approved DCPs:

• Lake Narracan Development Contribution Plan
• Traralgon North Development Contribution Plan
• Morwell North West Development Contribution Plan
• Addendum to the Traralgon North Development Plan

Each DCP has its own supporting documents:

• Schedule – Lists annual infrastructure levy rates per hectare and updated project costs.
• Land Budget & Open Space – Provides a property-specific breakdown of developable land and designated land uses.
• DCP Section 173 Agreement Template – Outlines legal obligations for development and the payment of contributions.
• Schedule of Development Contributions (Excel Template) – Provides a breakdown of levies payable for the development of a specific property.

Annual Indexation

All DCP schedules are updated annually on 1 July to reflect changes in the Building Price Index and land valuations.
