Environmental Infrastructure Levy
Commencing on 1 July 2005, Pittwater Council introduced a 5% Environmental Infrastructure (EI) Levy for a period of 7 years.
The Pittwater EI Levy is managed through the Pittwater EI Levy Community Contract, which sets out a range of works aimed to be achieved within the 7 year timeframe. The overall strategy is to upgrade and retrofit missing environmental infrastructure through carefully targeted, high priorty 'on the ground' projects.
The EI Levy program is also overseen by the EI Levy Advisory Committee, who meet each six months (or as the need arises) to review the Pittwater EI Levy Community Contract. The schedules or projects established through the Community Contract are to be incorporated into the Pittwater Council Management Plan, that will complement other infrastructure projects which are funded through traditional sources such as Council rates, statutory and user charges.
