A Development Contribution Scheme is used by the Local Authority to levy charges on new developments to fund essential public infrastructure. These contributions support services such as roads and community facilities that benefit both the development and the wider area.
Galway County Council operates a Development Contribution Scheme to part fund the provision of public infrastructure and facilities in the county. All planning permissions are subject to this scheme, including permissions granted on appeal by An Bord Pleanála, unless exempt in accordance with the provisions of the scheme.
Galway County Council's Development Contribution Scheme was formally adopted on 29th February 2016 in accordance with the provisions of Section 48 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), and updated with revised rates effective from 1st August 2019.
