Long Term Plan 2021-2031 Amendment (Amendment to 2023/24 year of Long Term Plan) - Incorporating Amendment to Development Contributions Policy

Description of the amendment

Hastings District is reaching a point where new wastewater infrastructure is required to be put in place to ensure we can:

  • Service the forecast housing and commercial/industrial growth for our district;
  • To meet our legal obligations as determined by various government policy directions.

The preferred option would see new infrastructure redirect wastewater from existing urban areas, which will in-turn free up capacity in the Hastings City
network to enable the district’s housing objectives (in relation to higher density developments) to be achieved, whilst continuing to support other planned
developments.

Note: The additional expenditure will impact on the charging of Development Contributions (the main way Council pays for growth infrastructure).
