Development Contributions

Cody C made this Official Information request to Christchurch City Council

The request was successful.

From: Cody C

Dear Christchurch City Council,

Are Development Contributions “ring-fenced” either 1) to the affected development, 2) more generally to all developments or 3) not at all (i.e. may be spent on something non development-related, such as a library)?

Yours faithfully,

Cody

Dear Cody,

 

Thank you for your email.

 

I have consulted with staff and they have provided the following
information.

 

Development Contributions are not ring fenced to the affected
development. Rather the money collected partly funds growth related
projects within the Long Term Plan (e.g. transport projects, waste water
projects, parks, etc.). The money usually doesn’t fund all of the
projects, just part of them (a part that is attributed to growth).

 

The key is that the project is identified in the Long Term Plan and is
related to growth.  It can include a range of projects relate to reserves,
network infrastructure and community infrastructure.

 

Any further questions, please let me know.

 

Kind regards,

 

Gypsy Stevenson

Information Advisor

Office of the Mayor and Chief Executive
