Review of Infrastructure Contributions Dr Cameron K. Murray Henry Halloran Trust, The University of Sydney May 2020 Download this submission as a pdf here. Summary: I argue that betterment is a more transparent, efficient, and certain tax base for raising council revenue for infrastructure or any other expenses. Compared to fixed-rate infrastructure contributions levied on a per-new-dwelling or per-new-building-area basis, a tax on betterment automatically adjusts to local economic circumstances, boosting efficiency.
