ePlanning System

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (26 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning): I have been advised:

The council levy is a contribution towards the ongoing operational expenses of the ePlanning system and associated support costs.

The council levy is revised through the annual fees and charges process and subject to an annual increase at the consumer price index (CPI) rate approved by cabinet.
