Are you looking at developing either through subdivision of property, building a dwelling or non-residential building, relocating a house or connecting services to an existing site? If you are, chances are you'll need to pay a Development Contribution.

The purpose of the 2012 Development Contributions Policy booklet
is to provide you with information on the Council's Development
Contributions Policy, and help answer questions such as
- Why do we have Development Contributions?
- Who pays?
- When are they paid?
- How do you calculate a Development Contribution?
Examples have been provided to help you understand how the
Development Contributions Policy works and how the policy might
apply to your proposed development. This document is a starting
point. It provides you with a general understanding of Development
Contributions before you plunge into the detail of the policy
itself.
You can also view the Council's Development Contributions Policy 2012 for
further information.
If you have any further questions or need to clarify anything,
you can either call Council on 06 356 8199 or come into the
Customers Services Reception on the Square and speak to our Duty
Planning Officer.
Base Fees for the 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2012 Policies
(including the Producer's Price Index-Construction
Adjustments)
The tables listed below provide the base fees for the 2004,
2006, 2007, 2009 and 2012 Development Contributions Policy and the
Producers Price Index-Construction (PPI) adjustments for the
2007 and 2009 Policies.
The 2007 Development Contributions Policy introduced the
following clause "If a development contribution is not paid within
12 months of the date the assessment was made, then the development
contribution shall increase annually on 1 July each year by the
amount of increase in the Producer's Price Index-Construction for
that year."
Where a development contribution was levied under the 2004 or
2006 Polices, but has not yet been paid, the amount payable is
calculated using the tables titled "Base Fees 2004" or "Base Fees
2006".
Where a development contribution was levied under the 2007 or
2009 Polices, but has not yet been paid, the amount payable is
calculated using the tables titled "Base Fees 2007 and Annual PPI
Adjustments" or "Base Fees 2009 and Annual PPI Adjustments".
(PLEASE NOTE: These fees are GST
exclusive.)
