In short
Short answer: the Infrastructure Contributions Plan Overlay (ICPO) is a Victorian planning overlay set out in clause 45.10 of the Victoria Planning Provisions and applied to land through each council's planning scheme. In the clause's own words, its first purpose is: “To identify the area where an infrastructure contributions plan applies for the purpose of levying contributions for the provision of infrastructure”.

An overlay sits on top of the land's zone and adds controls for one issue, whatever the zone is; a lot can carry several.
What it typically means for a buyer (Delora editorial, not legal advice): An infrastructure contributions plan applies to new development.
Check whether the Infrastructure Contributions Plan Overlay applies to an address with Address Check. For a decision on a specific property, the official record is a Planning Property Report from VicPlan, and the council's schedule sets the local detail.
