Donnybrook-Woodstock Infrastructure Contributions Plan
The Donnybrook-Woodstock Infrastructure Contributions Plan is the statutory funding mechanism for transport, community, recreation and public-purpose land infrastructure required by the Donnybrook-Woodstock Precinct Structure Plan. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.6) Its practical effect is to convert the PSP infrastructure list into a levy and land-equalisation system applying across 1,785.94 hectares of the ICP plan area, with monetary levies payable on 1,032.66 net developable hectares and land contributions calculated across 1,188.31 hectares of contribution land. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.7)
The plan matters beyond local project funding because it was one of the first Victorian growth-area ICPs to test benchmark infrastructure costing, supplementary levies, and the post-2018 public land contribution model through a Panel process. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.2-3) The Panel supported Amendment GC102 subject to changes, but also identified unresolved system-wide questions about benchmark costs, pooled funds, community-infrastructure shortfalls, and the legal meaning of “basic and essential” infrastructure. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.14-28)
Background
The ICP was prepared by the Victorian Planning Authority with Whittlesea City Council, Mitchell Shire Council, service authorities and other stakeholders. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.6) It is incorporated into the Whittlesea and Mitchell Planning Schemes through Schedule 1 to Clause 45.11, the Infrastructure Contributions Overlay, and Clause 72.04. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.7)
The original Donnybrook-Woodstock PSP and standard ICP were gazetted in November 2017 through Amendments GC28 and GC61. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, p.5) The 2017 standard ICP had a $334,300 per net developable hectare standard levy and no supplementary levy. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, p.8) The Planning and Environment Amendment (Public Land Contributions) Act 2018 then changed the ICP system by replacing the previous monetary land component with a land contribution model, requiring the Donnybrook-Woodstock ICP to be translated into the new framework. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, pp.3-4)
Three interim ICP versions followed before the final GC102 process was resolved. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, pp.8-10) Interim 1, introduced through GC101 on 2 July 2018, applied a 15.05 percent land contribution percentage and a supplementary levy of 810.42 per net developable hectare. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, p.8) Interim 2, introduced through GC108 in November 2018, retained the same levy settings but added resolved estimates of land value. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, p.29) Interim 3, introduced through GC134 in July 2019, reduced the land contribution percentage to 13.09 percent and increased the supplementary levy to 34,777 per net developable hectare. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, p.29)
Analysis
Levy Structure and Funding Mechanism
The amended ICP imposes both a monetary component and a land component. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.6) The monetary component is calculated by multiplying net developable area by the relevant standard and supplementary levy rates, while the land component requires inner public purpose land to be set aside and land equalisation payments to balance unequal land burdens across parcels. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.4-5)
The current amended monetary component totals 268,455,449 across 1,032.66 residential net developable hectares. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.4) That total comprises a standard levy of 216,564 per net developable hectare, collecting 223,637,596, and a supplementary levy of 43,400 per net developable hectare, collecting 44,817,852. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.4) The total monetary levy rate is 259,964 per net developable hectare, made up of 167,770 for transport construction and 92,194 for community and recreation construction. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.31-32)
The plan’s residential yield assumption is 16 dwellings per net developable hectare, producing 16,523 dwellings and an anticipated population of 46,263 persons at 2.8 persons per dwelling. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.37) On that stated dwelling yield, the 268.46 million monetary component equates to approximately 16,247 per dwelling before any land equalisation payment is considered. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.4, 37)
The 2022 amended levy is materially larger than the July 2018 interim levy. (Source: GC101IncorpDoc-Donnybrook-WoodstockInfrastructureContributionsPlanJuly2018ApprovalGazetted.pdf, p.1; Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.4) The July 2018 ICP collected 208,104,989 at a total residential rate of 201,499.42 per net developable hectare, while the amended March 2022 ICP collects 268,455,449 at 259,964 per net developable hectare. (Source: GC101IncorpDoc-Donnybrook-WoodstockInfrastructureContributionsPlanJuly2018ApprovalGazetted.pdf, p.1; Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.4) The increase is not just indexation; the supplementary levy grew from 810.42 per net developable hectare in the July 2018 ICP to 43,400 per net developable hectare in the amended ICP. (Source: GC101IncorpDoc-Donnybrook-WoodstockInfrastructureContributionsPlanJuly2018ApprovalGazetted.pdf, p.30; Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.32)
Transport Infrastructure and Staging
The transport program is the main cost driver in the ICP. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.11-14) Standard levy transport projects have an apportioned ICP cost of 128,432,293, equal to 124,370 per net developable hectare. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.13) Supplementary levy transport projects add 44,817,852, equal to 43,400 per net developable hectare. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.14)
The standard transport program includes five arterial road projects, three signalised pedestrian crossings, and sixteen listed intersection projects excluding IN-03 from the standard pool. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.11-13) The largest standard road items are Gunns Gully Road RD-02 at 12,227,738, Koukoura Drive RD-05 at 11,184,850, and Patterson Drive RD-03 at 10,960,248. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.11) The largest standard intersection items are IN-10 at Cameron Street and Patterson Drive at 7,375,722, IN-15 at Gunns Gully Road and Koukoura Drive at 7,233,697, and IN-04 at Donnybrook Road and Koukoura Drive at 6,798,655. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.12-13)
The supplementary levy is focused on infrastructure that the standard levy cannot wholly fund. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.14) It includes IN-03 at Donnybrook Road and Patterson Drive, the supplementary share of IN-14 at Gunns Gully Road and Patterson Drive, and five bridge or culvert projects. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.14) The largest supplementary item is BR-01, the Cameron Street bridge over Merri Creek and the Sydney-Melbourne railway, with a total cost of 24,952,330 and a 50 percent ICP apportionment of 12,476,165, with the remaining 50 percent attributed to the Lockerbie DCP. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.14) BR-05, the Patterson Drive bridge across Merri Creek, is costed at $8,762,043 and is a shared development-agency responsibility between the City of Whittlesea and Shire of Mitchell. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.14)
Staging is grouped into short term, medium term, and long term delivery, with short term meaning approximately 0-5 years, medium term approximately 5-10 years, and long term 10 years and beyond. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.9) Short-term transport items include Patterson Drive RD-03, Koukoura Drive RD-05, Ped-01, and IN-03, which means the early transport network depends on the Donnybrook Road-Patterson Drive intersection and two north-south arterial links being available early enough to support subdivision and access. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.11, 14)
Community, Recreation and Open Space
The community and recreation construction program contains seven community facilities and seven sport and recreation projects. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.16-17) The uncapped estimated cost of those projects is 137,406,924, but the capped levy collects 92,194 per net developable hectare. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.17) The Panel identified likely shortfalls between the capped community and recreation levy and the actual cost of delivering the community, sport and recreation infrastructure. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.27-28)
The community facility program includes four Level 2 community activity centres, one Level 3 community activity centre with family resource centre and branch library, and two Level 1 community activity centres. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.16) The Koukoura Drive Community Centre, which includes a library, is the largest community building item at $12,589,427. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.16) The Patterson Drive and Donnybrook Farmhouse sports reserves are staged short-to-medium term, indicating early demand for active open space in the southern and central parts of the PSP area. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.16-17)
The land component provides 155.65 hectares of public purpose land, made up of 47.86 hectares for transport and 107.79 hectares for community, recreation and open space. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.25) This produces a 13.10 percent ICP land contribution percentage for residential development. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.25) The open-space land program includes seven local sports reserves and 52 local parks, with local park construction treated as developer works outside the monetary component of the ICP. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.21-25)
Land Equalisation and Parcel Effects
The land contribution mechanism is designed to equalise the uneven geography of roads, intersections, community facilities, sports reserves and local parks. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.25-26) Parcels that provide more than the 13.10 percent contribution benchmark receive land credits, while parcels that provide less pay land equalisation amounts. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.25-30)
The ICP calculates 27.64 hectares of inner public purpose land above the contribution percentage, generating 72,463,878.70 in land credit amounts. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.26) The same amount is recovered from parcels below the contribution percentage through land equalisation, at a land equalisation rate of 2,621,667.40 per hectare. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.26)
The parcel effects are highly uneven. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.27-30) Parcel 20 contributes 20.8219 hectares of public purpose land and receives a 14,997,017.85 land credit, while Parcel 31 contributes 1.6191 hectares and pays 8,837,144.34 in land equalisation. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.27-29) Parcel 16 contributes only 0.7625 hectares of public purpose land against 28.9377 hectares of contribution area and pays $7,938,015.06 in land equalisation. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.27)
The land-use budget also shows that several parcels have substantial non-developable areas from conservation reserves, waterways, drainage reserves, utilities easements, schools, open space and existing road reservations. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.37-40) Parcel 6, for example, has 110.91 hectares total area but only 14.09 hectares of net developable area, largely because 91.59 hectares is identified as conservation reserve. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.38) Parcel 7 has 138.12 hectares total area and 43.09 hectares net developable area, with 81.30 hectares identified as conservation reserve. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.38)
Contested Issues and Panel Findings
The GC102 Panel process received eight submissions, all requesting changes. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.ii) Submitters included Mirvac Victoria, DFC Woodstock, DFC Donnybrook, Whittlesea City Council, Mitchell Shire Council, Donnybrook JV and 960 Blueways, and Satterley Property Group. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.ii) The Panel hearing occurred on 28, 29 and 30 October and 1 and 7 November 2019, with the report dated 9 December 2019. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.ii)
The Panel supported the amendment subject to changes, finding it strategically justified because planning policy encourages ICPs in growth areas to provide infrastructure funding certainty, efficiency and timeliness. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.4-5) The Panel recommended substituting the exhibited ICP with the October 2019 version, updating ICO1 levy amounts, updating the land contribution percentage, and updating land credit and equalisation amounts. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.5-6)
The most important transport dispute concerned IN-03 at Donnybrook Road and Patterson Drive. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.2-3) The Panel accepted a revised compact design attached to the April ICP because it was supported by the VPA, Department of Transport and most traffic experts, despite acknowledging that wider designs were preferable in principle but uncertain in land delivery, legal security and cost. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.2-3)
The Panel also resolved road cross-section issues with different outcomes for different roads. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.3) It supported interim undivided carriageways for Cameron Street and Patterson Drive because the PSP preferred that configuration and divided carriageways would require land in different ownership. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.3) It supported a divided interim carriageway for Koukoura Drive because that treatment was consistent with the PSP, would produce better urban design outcomes, and had fewer delivery difficulties because DFC Woodstock controlled land on both sides. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.3)
The Panel found that road and intersection costings should include landscaping across whole road reserves, not only disturbed portions, because partial landscaping could leave untreated land and lopsided boulevard planting for many years. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.3) It also found that shared user paths should be provided on both sides of Koukoura Drive but not on both sides of Patterson Drive and Cameron Street in their interim undivided configurations. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.3-4)
The Panel rejected adding financing costs for early delivery of two community centres because it found inadequate justification that early delivery was essential to orderly development. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.4) It rejected reclassifying Hayes Hill Reserve as credited public purpose land because the Rural Conservation Zone and PSP requirements for its steeper slopes indicated constraints that did not justify revisiting its treatment as encumbered and uncredited open space. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.4) It also found that land with existing permits should remain in the ICP because permits may not be completed or may expire. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, p.4)
Systemic Implications
The Panel’s broader findings affect how this ICP should be read. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.14-28) It found that “basic and essential” is not a legal test for whether an item can be funded, but it is a useful planning concept for avoiding over-scoping and determining the standard of infrastructure funded through an ICP. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.16-19) It found that Clause 17 criteria in the Ministerial Direction are matters for consideration, not strict preconditions to a supplementary levy. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.19-22)
The Panel also treated ICP funds as pooled rather than tied to individual project accounts. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.23-25) This matters for implementation because an under-budget project can help fund an over-budget project within the same lawful funding pool, although the land component cannot be used for works and the monetary component cannot be used for public purpose land acquisition. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.23-25)
The Panel emphasised that infrastructure contributions are contributions rather than full funding mechanisms. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.25-27) That creates a practical governance risk for Mitchell Shire and City of Whittlesea because major cost escalation or levy shortfalls could require councils and other development agencies to make difficult delivery and budget decisions. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.25-28)
Current Status
The operative source document in the corpus is the Donnybrook-Woodstock Infrastructure Contributions Plan July 2020, amended March 2022 and gazetted in May 2022. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf) The plan states that it takes a long-term development outlook, is projected to end when development within the ICP area is complete approximately 20 years after gazettal, and is expected to be reviewed every five years or more frequently if required. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.7)
The ICP is therefore an approved and implemented infrastructure funding instrument rather than a draft policy. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.7) Its key live planning function is administration: calculating monetary levies, securing inner public purpose land, administering land equalisation, negotiating works in kind, and sequencing infrastructure delivery against subdivision and development. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.31-35)
Dependencies
- Blocks: Development cannot proceed without payment or agreed delivery of the applicable monetary component and any land equalisation amount at subdivision, building permit, or development commencement stage, depending on the form of development. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.32-33)
- Blocked by: Infrastructure delivery is constrained by the timing of contributions, works-in-kind agreements, development-agency capacity to fund shortfalls, and cross-boundary apportionment for shared items such as BR-01 with the Lockerbie DCP and Ped-03 with the Shenstone Park ICP. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.11, 14, 17)
- Informed by: The ICP was informed by the Donnybrook-Woodstock PSP, benchmark infrastructure costings, stakeholder feedback reviews, functional layout plan conclaves, and Panel testing through Amendment GC102. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, pp.33-34)
- Implements: The ICP implements the infrastructure requirements of the Donnybrook-Woodstock Precinct Structure Plan through Part 3AB of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, the Ministerial Direction on Infrastructure Contributions Plans, and the Infrastructure Contributions Plan Guidelines. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.6-7)
- Conflicts with: The principal implementation tension is between capped levy revenue and the actual cost of community, sport and recreation infrastructure, which the Panel identified as likely to produce a significant shortfall. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.27-28)
Cross-Jurisdictional Links
The ICP area spans the Whittlesea and Mitchell Planning Schemes and requires coordinated administration between the City of Whittlesea and Mitchell Shire. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.6-7) The plan adjoins or interacts with the Lockerbie PSP, English Street PSP, Shenstone Park ICP and Northern Quarries PSP through shared or apportioned infrastructure items. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.8, 11, 14, 16)
The most material cross-boundary funding dependency is BR-01, where 50 percent of the Cameron Street bridge cost is apportioned to the Lockerbie DCP. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.14) Additional cross-boundary relationships include 226,052 from the English Street DCP for CI-01, 1,431,647 from the English Street DCP for SR-01, and 50 percent apportionment of Ped-03 to the Shenstone Park ICP. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.11, 16)
Gaps in This Analysis
The corpus includes the operative ICP, earlier ICP versions, the VPA Part A submission, and the GC102 Panel report, but it does not include the full Donnybrook-Woodstock PSP text, the GC28 Panel report, the current planning scheme schedules, council infrastructure delivery records, or current capital works budgets. (Source: GC102-DW-ICP-Part-A-Part-2-Final-w-Appendices.pdf, pp.33-34; Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.1-3) This limits analysis of whether the PSP land-use assumptions, open-space distribution, road hierarchy and infrastructure staging remain current. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.7, 17)
The corpus also lacks detailed delivery status for individual projects, including whether short-term items such as RD-03, RD-05, Ped-01 and IN-03 have been delivered, delivered through works in kind, deferred, or superseded by later designs. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.11, 14, 17) A full implementation audit would require council contribution registers, works-in-kind agreements, subdivision permit staging data, and updated cost indexation records. (Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, pp.32-35)
The most important analytical gap is the absence of current evidence on funding shortfalls for community and recreation infrastructure. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.27-28) The Panel flagged this as a likely systemic issue in 2019, and the amended ICP shows a capped levy framework, but the available corpus does not show whether later budgets, grants, works-in-kind delivery, or project rescoping have reduced or increased the shortfall. (Source: ICP-GC102-Panel-Report-2020.pdf, pp.27-28; Source: Donnybrook-Woodstock-Infrastructure-Contributions-Plan-July-2020-Amended-Gazetted-May-2022.pdf, p.17)
Resolved-Versus-Residual Gap Rule
The presence of a PSP or ICP page means the instrument is no longer treated as wholly missing. Residual gaps are narrower and must be named precisely: final levy tables, apportionment schedules, agency referral conditions, construction timing, land equalisation evidence, cost escalation and post-approval delivery monitoring. This page must not describe Beveridge North West ICP or Donnybrook-Woodstock ICP as absent when sibling pages now exist in the wiki.
