Drainage Development Contributions Plan 

The Drainage Development Contributions Plan requires multi-dwelling, new commercial and non-residential development to pay a levy toward the cost of upgrading Bayside's municipal drainage network.

Levies must be paid when applications for planning permits (including subdivision) are approved. The drainage levy charge sheet (DOCX, 130.52KB)is to be filled out and submitted with the payment. Plans will not be endorsed until payment has been made. 

The levy amount payable in 2017 is:

  • $2,000 for each additional ground floor dwelling
  • $1,000 for each additional flat/apartment or upper floor dwelling
  • $520 per 100 square metres of additional gross building floor area or per 100 square metres of site area, whichever is the lesser, for new commercial development on land zoned Commercial
  • $2,000 per 600 square metres of site area for new non-residential development on land zoned residential
