Infrastructure is key to the liveability of communities and helps to create vibrant places. There are many ways infrastructure can be funded, including through infrastructure contributions by developers.

We are undergoing the review and update of several strategic documents and infrastructure works schedules that align with current growth forecasts and legislative requirements.

Public Exhibition of Key Plans

The following draft plans are on Public Exhibition from 14 October to 22 November 2024. 

These two plans, while related, fall under different legislation, and have different catchment boundaries.

We are seeking feedback on each of these draft plans during the Public Exhibition period.

Simultaneous Engagement

During this time, we are also seeking feedback on the Planning & Land Use Discussion Paper. We encourage you to find out more and join the conversation.

About the plans

The draft plans detail the infrastructure needed to support growth and outlines how Council will collect and use development contributions across a range of infrastructure. The Draft LICP does not include water supply and sewerage network contributions, which are covered by the Draft DSPW&S. 

Both plans have been developed within relevant legislative frameworks and have been designed to align with local, state, and regional priorities based on current population forecasts.
