Finance & Risk
If the desired action is implemented and the unnecessary requirements were removed from the
Statutory Guidelines, it would:
    greatly reduce the amount of time, resources, effort and costs to all local governments and
      their communities;
    enable concentration on detailing the future infrastructure requirements and costs necessary
      in providing infrastructure for development growth;
    have no impact on the purpose of a LGIP as described in sections 2.2 to 2.4 of the current
      Statutory Guideline 03/04 or for what a LGIP does as stated in Schedule 2 Dictionary of the
      new Planning Act since this all relates to future infrastructure required for future development;
    have no impact for the Development Industry since the legislation has set the permissible
      maximum charges, enabled establishment costs for future works for offsets to be revalued
      by development and enabled conversion applications of non-trunk infrastructure to become
      trunk infrastructure that is not currently in a LGIP; and
    significantly reduce the time required for local governments to achieve LGIPs thereby
      promoting the State Government’s desired direction for planning reform and not “at the
      expense of community participation or the role of local government” per the Deputy Premier’s
      statement May 2015 contained on the Department’s website.
