   Overview

   Following consultation in early 2019 with local governments, industry, distributer-retailers and state agencies,
  amendments to the Planning Regulation 2017 (Planning Regulation) relating to infrastructure planning and
   charging are being progressed by the Department of State Development, Manufacturing Infrastructure and
   Planning (DSDMIP).
  The amendments are aimed at improving transparency around the levying and collection of infrastructure charges
  as well as improving public access to local government infrastructure planning and charging information.
  The amendments will come into effect shortly.

   New requirements for local governments with a Local
   Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP)
  The Planning Regulation amendments relate to:
   e  infrastructure charges registers
   e  infrastructure charges notices
   e  the prescribed amounts in Schedule 16

   business systems. Details of the new requirements and their commencement dates are as follows:
