Infrastructure

Funding and building infrastructure is key to facilitating development within PDAs.  The ED Act authorises MEDQ to set and levy infrastructure charges within a PDA, with the Infrastructure Funding Framework (IFF) serving as the primary EDQ policy document concerning charges for Bowen Street Roma PDA. As outlined in the IFF, the Bowen Street Roma PDA refers to the relevant local government’s charging instrument to determine the calculation of these charges.
