The provisional figure for development contributions levied by local authorities for 2005 is almost €520 million, based on figures returned by planning authorities for the Annual Planning Statistics 2005. Indicative projections for 2006 would suggest that development contribution receipts will be of a similar order this year. Levies under section 96(B) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) totalled almost €3m in 2005. While projections are not available for the full year, receipts for the period January to June 2006 totalled some €2m.
