Doncaster Hill Development Contribution Plan
What is it?
A Development Contribution Plan (DCP) is a mechanism used
to levy new development for financial contributions to planned
community infrastructure, such as libraries, pedestrian and
cycling paths, streetscape improvements and public art. The
Doncaster Hill DCP was introduced into Manningham
City Council’s Planning Scheme in 2003 through Amendment
C30.
Purpose of the Doncaster
Hill DCP
The Doncaster Hill Strategy will deliver and/or support a
substantial increase in higher density housing, major improvements
to the public domain, better public transport services and
enhanced traffic management. The Strategy is firmly based
on the triple bottom line of sustainable development - economically
rewarding to both local developers and the wider community,
environmentally responsible and socially inclusive.
The achievement of this vision requires substantial investment
in new and upgraded infrastructure. Effectively managing development
in Doncaster Hill and the wider City of Manningham presents
the challenge of funding scheduled infrastructure to be used
by the development.
The DCP has been prepared:
- To establish development contribution charging rates
for residential and non residential development within the
municipality; and
- To explain and justify all information inputs and the
method of calculating charges.
Council is already undertaking initiatives and land purchases
in advance of developer contributions to be received, as part
of the delivery of community and road infrastructure. This
includes the Civic
Precinct development and streetscape works.
