Schedule to Development Contributions Policy
Development Impact Fees were reviewed in July 2007.
Requirement for Development Contributions
Development contributions are required from new development in the form of money or land or both at the Council’s discretion for capital expenditure for growth for roading, cycling, walking, water supply and wastewater treatment facilities, community infrastructure and flood mitigation activities, according to the planning tables, planning maps, and procedures specified in the schedule.
Generally, however, the maximum level of development contributions will be required on development over and above that existing at the time of an application, or in the case of subdivision the issuing of the section 224 certificate, creating additional units of demand, assessed by the Council according to A.6.1.
If there are any issues or queries then the Sustainable Development Manager will be pleased to discuss them on an individual basis.
