Building a new home in the Ballarat West Growth Area

If you are a new homeowner in the Ballarat West Growth Area you will need to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

The CIL is a contribution towards community facilities in the Ballarat West Growth Area such as multi-purpose community hubs, early years hubs, recreational facilities and sports pavilions.

The CIL is a one-off payment and must be paid prior to the issue of a building permit, as specified in the Victorian Planning and Environment Act 1987 and mandated under Section 24(5) of the Building Act 1993.
