Development contributions

New residential and commercial developments add demand to our infrastructure.

A review of our Development Contributions Policy is currently underway. This review may result in changes to the development contribution charges.

Once the review is completed we will seek public feedback on the draft policy. This will likely happen later in 2024 and will be communicated on our website.

Please email developmentcontributions@ccc.govt.nz if you have any questions.

The Council charges development contributions to recover the cost of providing new or upgraded infrastructure to service growth. Charging development contributions ensures developers pay a fair share of those costs.

About development contributions

Assessments and charges

The amount you have to pay depends on the property's location, and how many household equivalent units (HUEs) of demand your development project may add.

Development contributions rebate schemes

The Council has three development contributions rebate schemes to promote development that benefits the wider community.
