	abstract = {<p><span>Clause 19 of the Victoria Planning Provisions (VPP) outlines the importance of planning for the timely delivery of social and physical infrastructure, and states that planning authorities should consider the use of infrastructure contributions to assist in achieving this. Infrastructure contributions have been collected in Victoria for some time, but it was not until 1995 that the Development Contributions Plan (DCP) system became legislated in the Planning and Environment Act. This legislation was prompted by a landmark legal case in a greenfield setting known as the {\textquoteright}Eddie Barron decision{\textquoteright} which resulted in the principles of need, nexus, equity and accountability forming the basis of the way in which development contributions are collected in Victoria. The introduction of the Infrastructure Contributions Plan (ICP) system in October 2016 was the first significant change to the way in which development contributions are collected since this legislation was introduced. The ICP currently applies to metropolitan greenfield settings, the application of the system in regional growth areas and strategic development areas is yet to be resolved.</span></p>},
