What are the Changes to the Reporting Requirements?
Unlike the CIV, the EDC takes a much more detailed approach. It accounts for a wider range of expenses, including not only construction costs but also additional factors such as contingencies, escalation, professional fees, and even financing costs. The goal is to provide a more comprehensive and accurate reflection of a development’s total cost, ensuring that local councils and state authorities have the information they need to make better-informed decisions.
Why the Shift from CIV to EDC?
The shift from CIV to EDC is part of a broader move towards greater transparency and accuracy in development cost reporting. The previous CIV system, while practical, had its limitations in fully representing the true financial scope of a project. The new EDC framework addresses these gaps, providing more granular detail that can help mitigate the risks of underestimating costs or overlooking key financial elements.
