Development Contribution Scheme 2018
If you are granted planning permission for a development you may be asked to pay a development levy under the Development Contribution Scheme 2018. This is in addition to the charges you pay when applying for planning permission.
The levy is based on public facilities you will benefit from including roads, water, sewerage, community facilities and car parking provided by the council.
