Development Contributions Policy 2024
This consultation has now closed. Submissions will be presented to Council on Thursday 29 August. We will update this page following that meeting.
We’re reviewing our Development Contributions Policy and we are looking to hear your thoughts on the proposed changes.
We are required to review our Development Contributions Policy at least every three years.
These reviews provide us with the opportunity to:
- Implement learnings since the adoption of the previous policy
- Implement national best practice and update any changes to policy administration
- Update underlying assumptions around our infrastructure and growth capacity
- Revise our assumptions surrounding development within the city
- Incorporate updated growth forecasts and infrastructure demand expected from growth
- Incorporate revised project lists from Asset Management Plans, the Long-term Plan 2024
- Update assumptions about future interest and inflation rates.
The DCP 2024 review has provided the opportunity to assess:
- how growth-related investment in our brownfield parks and reserves network is funded,
- how the DCP supports the preamble of the Te Ture Whenua Act 1993
- the content, format, and function of the current policy to incorporate learnings and changes since the previous adoption.
In preparation for the DCP 2024 workshops were held with councillors to ensure elected members have had the opportunity to understand the proposed changes and alignment with best practice.
Through the adoption of the 2021 DCP Council noted an intention to review non-residential factors underpinning its DCP.
Due to the broader complexities and uncertainties of potential impacts relating to Government initiatives the review of the non-residential factors has been delayed to the 2027 DCP.
The policy review allows us to effectively plan and finance future growth within our city.
