Draft Development Contributions Policy Review

Hauraki District Council Draft Development Contributions Policy 2012-22

The Local Government Act 2002 requires that Councils must review their Development Contributions policy every three years. Council’s current policy was adopted in 2009 and is currently being reviewed by the Council. In particular, the Council must update its actual capital works expenditure over the last 10 years and its planned capital works for the next 10 years and include relevant expenditure relating to growth and capacity from these figures into the financial model for contributions.

On 27 July 2011, the Council resolved to proceed with the review of its Development Contributions Policy. The review has been underway since then. At its meeting 25 January the Council considered the new, draft policy based on the review of expenditure and matters arising from the implementation of the previous policy. At the meeting the Council resolved to proceed with a pre-consultation process with the development community and other interested parties prior to formal notification of the draft policy taking place in March 2012.

The relevant documents are attached for information and feedback.
