Council has provided this development contributions enquiry facility to give information on development contributions that have been charged to properties throughout the district. It is available to potential developers, real estate agents and anyone else that has an interest in land in the Far North. WarningThis information is provided for information only. It is supplied on a best endeavours basis and should not be relied on for the purposes of undertaking any legal commitment. For accurate information on possible development contributions requirements on a particular development, you are advised to obtain a Land Information Memorandum on the property and/or to discuss the development project with Council’s Development Contributions Team.
What does the enquiry show?This enquiry provided information on all properties that have been assessed development contributions, how much of that has been invoiced and how much of this remains to be paid. What do “assessed”, “invoiced” and “paid” mean?
What if my property is not listedIf a property is not listed in this enquiry, it means that there has been no development since the contributions policy came into effect so no contributions have been charged. What contribution will I need to pay if I want to develop my property?If no contributions have been paid on the property, you will be required to pay all the contributions set out in the policy when you undertake any development. What will it cost me?This depends on what you are proposing to do and where the development will take place. Some example residential contributions are shown below. These are examples only and you should contact Council as soon as you are planning a development to get up to date information. ALWAYS OBTAIN A LIM BEFORE YOU COMMENCE A DEVELOPMENT – THIS WILL ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE CURRENT RELIABLE INFORMATION ON ANY DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS THAT MAY BE PAYABLE ON YOUR PROPOSAL. Note: the following examples are based on the policy contained in the 2008/09 Draft Annual Plan Building a single new dwelling on a vacant lotWhere development contributions have not been paid.
Building a second or subsequent dwelling on a lotWhere development contributions have not been paid.
What about commercial developments?Every commercial development is different so the contributions will be based on the scale and nature of the proposal. Discuss possible development contribution implications at an early stage with Council’s Development Contributions Staff. How do I use the enquiry?The enquiry provides a search tool using the property valuation number or the address. If you don’t know the street number, just enter the street name for a list of possible properties. It should be remembered that if the lot that you are interested in has only recently been created as a result of a subdivision, the contributions will remain on the parent or original lot. If the system cannot find the property, it will display the message No Records Found. If you get this message but you believe that contributions may have been paid, please call the Development Contributions Team for more information. For all enquiries about this facility or for more information on development contributions, please call Liza or Rachel in the Development Contributions Team on 0800 920 029 – they will be more than happy to help you. |
