MILDURA PLANNING SCHEME

Notice of the preparation of an amendmentAmendment C112mild

The Mildura Rural City Council has prepared Amendment C112mild to the Mildura Planning Scheme.

The land affected by the amendment is:

The Amendment applies to all land in the Development Contributions Plan (DCP) Overlay 001, DCP Overlay 002 and DCP Overlay 003 which corresponds to the areas of Mildura South, Irymple and Nichols point.

The amendment proposes to:

Replace the yearly infrastructure delivery schedule included in Schedule 1, Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 of the Development Contributions Plan Overlay (DCPO) in the Mildura Planning Scheme with a demand trigger delivery schedule. To do so, the amendment updates the ‘Time of Provision’ column and the note below each Summary of Costs table at clauses 2.0 and 3.0 in schedule 1, schedule 2 and schedule 3 of Clause 45.06 (Development Contribution Plan Overlay) and amend Clause 72.04 to include the updated incorporated documents. Update the project cost and levies in Schedule 2 of the Development Contributions Plan Overlay (DCPO) arising from the State-wide low density reform introduced via Amendment VC100 in 2013 applying to Nichols Point. The costs are required to be revised only for existing projects DG030 (drainage) and OS030 (open space) which are removed and replaced with revised project costs for public open space and drainage in DG401, DG402 and DG403.

The contributions figures are revised to reflect implications arising from both the new capital costs for revised projects DG401, DG402 and DG403 and the revised demand implications from the increased development yield across all identified Nichols Point projects for Areas 40-67 inclusive.
