3.     Development Contributions Rebate Schemes

Reference Te Tohutoro:

25/539886

Presenter(s) Te Kaipāhō :

Ellen Cavanagh, Senior Policy Analyst

 

1. Detail Te Whakamahuki

 

Purpose and Origin

·    The Council has a Development Contributions Rebate Policy which provides for the Council to adopt development contribution rebate schemes to help achieve certain strategic goals.

·    During discussions on the Development Contributions Policy review, some elected members expressed interest in exploring rebate scheme opportunities alongside the review of the Development Contributions Policy.

Timing

This information session is expected to last for 45 minutes.

Outcome Sought

·   Elected members will be briefed on matters related to the Development Contributions Rebate Policy and related rebate schemes.

·   This session is an opportunity to canvass elected member preferences for a new development contributions rebate scheme.

·   Staff will progress work on development contribution rebate schemes based on the direction indicated by elected members.

ELT Consideration

The Development Contributions Steering Group maintains oversight of the Development Contributions Policy and related functions. The Steering Group is chaired by the General Manager Strategy, Planning & Regulatory Services.

Next Steps

The next steps will depend on elected member direction received in this briefing.

Staff will progress work on development contribution rebate schemes based on the direction indicated by elected members.

Key points / Background

·    The Council’s Development Contributions Rebate Policy was established to enable the Council to promote strategic objectives by providing rebates for strategically desirable development.

·    The Council currently has schemes for two development types – social housing and papakainga. Previously, the Council operated rebate schemes for central city residential and non-residential development. These schemes closed in December 2021 and June 2020, respectively.

·    A development contributions rebate is a tool the Council could use to address specific concerns that have been raised in the consultation process on the Development Contributions Policy.

·    If possible, staff intend to align the decision making for both the draft Policy and a new rebate scheme.  That way, decision making on development contributions can be made as a package.

Next Steps

N/A

 

Key points / Background

In late 2023, Christchurch City Council began working with Taumata Arowai on a project to gain a better understanding of the presence of viruses in Canterbury groundwater.

Christchurch City Council’s drinking water supply abstracts groundwater from a number of wells within the city’s boundaries and as such the virus rules that Taumata Arowai develops have the potential to impact the operation and/or compliance of the Christchurch City supply.

An understanding of the presence of viruses in Canterbury groundwater, informed by research will provide information for the preparation of new virus rules.
