Population and business growth create the need for new subdivisions and developments, and these place increasing demands on the assets and services provided by New Plymouth District Council (Council). As a result, significant investment in new or upgraded assets and services is required to meet the demands of growth.
NPDC may decide to allow remissions for particular community infrastructure works, such as that undertaken by schools, charitable organisations or charitable trusts and to support the principles in the preamble to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. For more information on remissions please see the ‘postponement and remissions’ section of the Development and Financial Contributions Policy.
You are entitled under the Local Government Act 2002 to request a reconsideration or lodge a formal objection if you believe we have made a mistake in assessing the level of development contributions for your development.
