PPC Urban has significant experience in greenfield development, with specialised town planning expertise in the preparation and implementation of development contributions plans (DCPs) and infrastructure contributions plans (ICPs). We are recognised experts for the DCPs/ICPs in greenfield and established areas. Recent examples include projects in Casey, Hume and Whittlesea.

Our town planners prepare development contributions plans on behalf of public and private sector clients. We also are very familiar with the requirements of the recently new introduced system – infrastructure contributions plans.

We offer infrastructure advice to our clients on infrastructure funding agreements (i.e. Section 173 agreements) and negotiate works-in-kind arrangements.
We also provide advice to local government clients to develop a cooperative approach to prioritise infrastructure projects in the best community interests and establish a quality reporting system.

With a robust understanding of how local government prioritises infrastructure projects, our town planners can effectively prepare negotiation strategies for works-in-kind arrangements.

Assessing development contributions liabilities is important to enable you to make informed decisions in selecting development sites before purchasing – this is part of our due diligence checklist.
