Past Development Contributions Policies

This area of the website holds copies of the original 2004 and original 2006 Development Contributions Policies respectively and relevant Information Sets, although they are no longer operative.

Those policies operated prior to the introduction of the 2009 Development Contribution Policy which amends all earlier policies and includes the amended 2004 and amended 2006 schedules of charges.

North Shore City Council adopted a Development Contributions Policy as part of its Long Term Council Community Plan effective from July 1, 2004.

A Development Contributions Policy provides the council with a method to obtain contributions to fund infrastructure required as a result of growth.

Development Contributions may be required in relation to development if the effect (or cumulative effects) of the development is to require new or additional assets of increased capacity and as a consequence the council incurs capital expenditure to provide appropriately for network infrastructure, community infrastructure and reserves.

In addition the council requires Development Contributions to pay, in full or in part, for capital expenditure already incurred by the council in anticipation of development.

The council will calculate Development Contributions as set out in the Local Government Act.
This legislation requires the council to identify the capital expenditure it expects to incur to meet the increased demand resulting from growth, and then attribute a share of the expenditure.
