ACW-Development-Contributions-Plan - City of Greater Geelong

7.5. COLL
OLLECTION OF LEVIES
The Community Infrastructure levy will be collected by the City of Greater Geelong at the Building
Approval Stage in accordance with section 46(0) of the Planning & Environment Act (1987).
However, developers/landowners are strongly encouraged to pay the Community Infrastructure
Levy before the issue of a Statement of Compliance to simplify collection of development
contributions, reduce the administrative burden on COGG and facilitate the early provision of
community infrastructure.
The Development Infrastructure Levy will be collected by the City of Greater Geelong as follows:
• For the subdivision of residential land, before the issue of a Statement of Compliance under
the Subdivision Act 1988 in respect of the subdivision creating any new residential lot;
• In relation to the development of commercial land, a planning permit condition must require the
payment of the development contribution prior to the commencement of works unless there is
an agreement with the Responsible Authority to secure the payment of the development
contribution by some other means or other timeframe.
The Development Infrastructure Levy will be collected by the Responsible Authority (City of Greater
Geelong) before the issue of a Statement of Compliance. A statement of compliance must not be
issued until the development infrastructure levy is paid.
The Responsible Authority will impose conditions on a planning permit for subdivision or for the
development of commercial land to collect the levies generally as follows:
FOR SUBDIVISIONS OF RESIDENTIAL LAND
A development infrastructure levy must be paid to the Responsible Authority in accordance with the
provisions of the approved Development Contribution Plan for the land within the following specified
time, namely after Certification of the relevant plan of subdivision but not more than 21 days prior to
the issue of a Statement of Compliance in respect of that plan.
Where the subdivision is to be developed in stages the development infrastructure levy for that
stage only may be paid to the Responsible Authority within the time specified provided that a
Schedule of Development Contributions is submitted with each stage plan of subdivision. The
schedule must show the amount of development contributions payable for each stage and paid in
respect of prior stages to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.
FOR A PERMIT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL LAND
Unless some other arrangement has been agreed to by the Responsible Authority in a section 173
agreement, prior to the commencement of any development, the development infrastructure levy
must be paid to the Responsible Authority in accordance with the provisions of the approved DCP
for the land.
NO PERMIT REQUIRED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND
Where no planning permit is required for the development of land, unless some other arrangement
has been agreed to by the Responsible Authority in a section 173 agreement, prior to the
commencement of any development, the development infrastructure levy must be paid to the
Responsible Authority in accordance with the provisions of the approved DCP for the land.
