Resolution number HB/2018/196 MOVED by Chairperson J Parfitt, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J Fitzgerald: That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board: a) provide the following feedback on the draft Contributions Policy 2019 (the policy) i) generally supports the policy but notes that it has not had the opportunity to see or assess the public feedback on the policy to inform the local board feedback, and will not have that opportunity prior to the Governing Body making a decision to adopt the policy in December 2018. ii) note that, since development contributions can only account for the growth component of new infrastructure, there will never be enough contributions collected to fully fund the infrastructure our communities require iii) express concern that development contributions can be collected to fund swimming pools and other community infrastructure as it will spread the amount of funding that is collected over more community infrastructure, making necessary infrastructure harder to deliver within available budgets iv) note that council is still paying for infrastructure that is already built (such as major transport upgrades) which means development contributions that are collected now do not necessarily translate into new infrastructure; this issue is not well known or understood by the public v) request that council improve their communications with the public to better inform them what their development contributions are paying for in their local area (such as paying for infrastructure that is already built) vi) request that the policy be accompanied by greater transparency about where and what development contributions are paying for across the region vii) request that the policy be amended to allow council to take the maximum amount for reserve contributions that is permissible by law (7.5%) given the importance of open space and reserves and the high cost of these. viii) do not support the change of the timing for collection of development contributions to when code of compliance is issued as it will delay the collection of funding and have a flow on impact on the acquisition of open space which usually happens in the early stages of a development ix) reiterate previous feedback provided that Funding Areas need to be smaller to more accurately reflect the needs of growing communities. |
