About the amendment
Amendment No. 156 to Town Planning Scheme No. 3 (TPS 3) proposes to introduce a ‘period of operation’ and ‘timing and priority’ of infrastructure delivery for several existing Development Contribution Plans (DCP).
Development contributions are payments made by developers to fund infrastructure, such as roads, parks and drainage, that is required to support future growth. There are a number of Development Contribution Plans covering areas within Cockburn.
A 'period of operation' refers to the timeframe the DCP will operate.
A 'timing and priority' refers to when the funded infrastructure is expected to be delivered, based on its level of priority.
This amendment is required to ensure TPS 3 aligns with the requirements of State Planning Policy 3.6. Under this Policy, existing DCPs are required to be amended to establish a timeframe for which the DCP will operate and provide an indication of when funded infrastructure will be delivered.
A summary of the proposed 'period of operation' and 'timing and priority' for each DCP is outlined in the table below.
