Community infrastructure levy

Supporting infrastructure in new communities

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. 

Infrastructure levy fees and exemptions

Not all housing estates within growth areas are subject to the Community Infrastructure Levy. This is because the developer has paid it on your behalf or the property is in an exempted area.

The levy fee payable also varies for different areas.

To find out if your estate requires payment and how much, check the list below or enter your street address into our interactive map.

If you can’t find your housing estate in the list or on the interactive map, please contact the Strategic Planning team on 03 9217 2170.

All fees are affected by indexation and are subject to change.
