Melbourne Strategic Assessment (Environment Mitigation Levy) Act 2020.

The purpose of this Act is to impose a levy to fund measures to mitigate impacts on the environment caused by the development of land in Melbourne's growth corridors. The Act is organized in 8 Parts. Part 2 provides that the Secretary, by instrument, may declare an area of land within the urban growth area to be the levy area or to be a conservation area for the purposes of this Act. Moreover the Part requires the Secretary to establish and maintain in the Department a computer system so called the the environment mitigation information system. Part 3 disciplines the environment mitigation levy in relation to the occurrence of a series of events specified in column 2 of an item in the Table (that is not an excluded event) in respect of the relevant land specified in column 3 of that item in the Table opposite that event. It establishes the amount of the levy; who is the person liable to pay and when, situations when the person is entitled to a reduction of environment mitigation levy through land transfer agreements; matters to be included in the land transfer agreement; notification of certain levy events on Crown land.
Part 4 concerns assessment of levy liability and collection of environment mitigation levy by the Secretary of the State, and Part 5 provides for objections. Part 5 establishes the Melbourne Strategic Assessment Fund. Part 6 regulates review of environment mitigation levy.
