Some property owners in the local growth areas of Epping, Doreen, Mernda, South Morang, Donnybrook and Wollert must pay a Community Infrastructure Levy. This helps fund local infrastructure for the whole community.
The levy is a one-off payment that must be paid before a building permit can be issued. This is specified in the Victorian Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the Building Act 1993.
