ABSTRACT

New development in greenfield areas generally requires new infrastructure. To assist with funding this infrastructure, development contributions are increasingly used. Mostly, contributions are collected for local trunk infrastructure, but regional and state infrastructure for transport, health and other purposes is also needed. The Growth Area Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) in Melbourne, Australia, is an example of a charge that is specifically collected for state-funded infrastructure. Building on previous research, this article explores the extent to which the GAIC reflects good practice and discusses idiosyncrasies and opportunities for improvement, in view of similar contribution schemes elsewhere, e.g. in New South Wales.

摘要

绿地地区的新开发通常需要新的基础设施。为了协助为这种基础设施提供资金，越来越多地使用发展捐款。大多数情况下，捐款是为当地干线基础设施收集的，但也需要用于交通、卫生和其他目的的区域和州基础设施。澳大利亚墨尔本的增长区基础设施贡献 (GAIC) 是专门为国家资助的基础设施收取的费用的一个例子。在先前研究的基础上，本文探讨了 GAIC 反映良好实践的程度，并讨论了特殊性和改进机会，鉴于其他地方（例如新南威尔士州）的类似贡献计划。
