3.9 Development Contributions
3.9.1 Significant Resource Management Issues
- The economic burden of funding works and infrastructure is significant to sectors of the community. There are likely to be significant costs in the next ten years associated with new facilities and extensions prompted by household growth, particularly in Morrinsville. Such costs will be borne by the implementation of fair development contributions that take into account equity between new development and the existing resident population. See Section 7, Development Contributions.
- The avoidance, remediation or mitigation of adverse environmental effects from activities may also warrant the implementation of a contribution as outlined in Section 7 of this plan.
