Windfall gains tax

What we are seeking

We are seeking an exemption for Local Government from Windfall Gains Tax in situations where rezoned land is reused for community benefit.

What it will deliver

This effort will remove disincentives to reusing land for community benefit.

Overview

Windfall Gains tax is payable to the State Revenue office when rezoned land value increases above $100,000. We have  joined forces with Boroondara, Manningham, Nillumbik and Whitehorse councils to advocate for an exemption from the tax in situations where land is reused for community benefit.

Why now?
In a rate-capped environment Council budgets are under more pressure than ever. It makes good sense to remove barriers to reusing land for community benefit.
