The growth areas infrastructure contribution (GAIC) is a one-off charge on land in Melbourne's designated growth areas. It is paid by landowners or developers when certain events occur, such as when land is bought, subdivided or applying for a building permit. A GAIC certificate tells you of any GAIC liability attached to your land.
GAIC may apply if your land is in:
- Cardinia
- Casey
- Hume
- Melton
- Mitchell
- Whittlesea
- Wyndham.
