Developer Contributions for Infrastructure Costs Associated with Land Development

Public Accounts Committee (2001 - 2005)· 21 October 2004general_report

The WA Public Accounts Committee investigated developer contributions for infrastructure costs associated with land development. The report examines current formulas, compares WA to other states, and addresses inequities. It finds the WA planning system efficient but identifies inconsistencies in infrastructure standards and the need to address leapfrog development.

Impact

Developers, local councils, and state government agencies are affected. The recommendations aim to improve infrastructure funding, reduce urban sprawl, and promote infill development, ultimately impacting housing affordability and community amenities.
