www.hurunui.govt.nz The requirement to pay a development contribution is not imposed as a condition of the resource consent or the building consent, but arises by operation of law as a consequence of the adoption of this policy, and is not therefore subject to either the objection and appeal processes set out in Resource Management Act or the determination procedures set out in the Building Act. Projects Costs Projected units of demand have been updated for all projects, and where the capital cost of a project has increased or decreased from the amount previously projected, the capital expenditure on which the development contributions are calculated has been amended. All figures have been inflation adjusted as shown in Appendix 2, and the projected development contribution payable for each year of the ten year financial planning period of this plan is set out in Appendix 3. (GST added and figures rounded). Reserves Development Contribution Policy Definition Within the Hurunui District, development contributions for reserves apply to land and the development of land that is under the control and management of the Hurunui District Council or is being managed under the Reserve Management Act 1977. Development contributions are collected for the following purposes: • Land purchase of reserves for the reserves network including linkage strips Development of vested reserve land, including: • Construction of recreation facilities including buildings • Fencing and gates • Sport surfaces • Development and upgrading of reserves to meet growth • Developing access to reserves, including paths, roads, car parking and cycleways • Signage • Planting of major trees • Public toilets associated with the use of the reserve • Playgrounds and play equipment • Park furniture including seats, litter bins, picnic tables and lighting • Infrastructure, water, irrigation, power and sewage • Any site specific requirements Particular projects are the: • Development and upgrade of the Queen Mary Site for recreational use • Redevelopment of the Amberley Pavilion • Omihi Domain Netball Court Development • Development of facilities on the Hanmer Springs Domain • Conical Hill/Oregon Heights/Lucas Lane walkway development • Acquisition and development of Amberley Ward Reserves • Acquisition and development of Amberley Township Reserves Need to Undertake the Activity The Council aims to add to and develop its reserve network to provide areas that allow people to enjoy physical and passive recreation, while at the same time retaining areas of conservation value. All of the above are important for individual and community wellness. The capital projects proposed will add considerable improvements to the existing network of reserves and facilities. Community Outcomes to which the Activity Primarily Relates A desirable and safe place to live. Distribution of Benefits Economic The ongoing development of the reserves network will result in a better physical environment and a healthier community, which in turn will encourage more people to do business and live in the area. Social As growth increases and demographic and lifestyle changes occur, it is necessary for appropriate reserve space to be provided and enhanced, in line with community expectations. Cultural Open spaces, pedestrian links and sports fields provide opportunities for sporting and other recreational activities which are important aspects of the community’s culture. Environmental The development of reserves will enable the physical environment, including special heritage, vistas and open spaces to be protected as growth increases. 204
Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022 Duration of Benefits The reserves that are being developed over the next twenty years will provide ongoing and long term benefits to the Community. Impact of the Activity on the Current and Future Well Being of the Community The development of reserves and the facilities on reserves to meet the demands from growth will have a considerable impact on the social, economic, cultural and environmental well being of the community. Future changes in lifestyle and the structure of the population will require responsiveness on the part of the Council to provide recreation opportunities, social, environmental and cultural spaces that will encourage individuals to be involved in a range of leisure, play and recreation activities and will promote a healthy community. Benefits apply to the whole community from the provision of reserves. While there are wider community and environmental benefits from the creation of new reserves, the Council considers that future property owners should contribute directly to the development costs of reserves to ensure that the District can continue to provide the existing level of service to a growing population. Sources of Funding Loans Rates Development Contributions Yes Yes Yes For further detail on funding for capital expenditure refer to the Capital Expenditure Schedule on page 230 the Revenue and Financing Policy, and the Reserves Activity Plan. Calculation of Contribution There are two reserve contributions, one for District Wide Reserves applicable to all new residential units of demand. This is based on a wider sphere of use of the land. The other is for Amenity Reserves, which are primarily based around use by the residents of a ward or township. In both cases, contributions will be payable on a unit rate of demand for any new residential activity or subdivision, which creates a residential opportunity whether urban or rural. Contributions are calculated per lot by dividing the cost of the capital expenditure due to growth as detailed in appendix 1. by the number of units of growth expected in the target period. The resulting amounts are set out in appendix 2. These amounts are capped as per statutory requirements at the greater of 7.5% of the value of the additional allotments created by a subdivision or the value equivalent of 20 square metres of land for each additional household unit created by the development. This value will be calculated on an individual basis based upon estimated market value at the time that the contributions are collected. Points at which Contributions are Collected Contributions will be collected at the time of granting a subdivision consent, or if a separate certificate of title exists against which no development levy has been paid, at the time of issuing a building consent. Rationale for Individual Projects The Queen Mary site is envisaged as providing for future recreational opportunities for a twenty year planning horizon from 2004. There is a need to add to and improve this land and expand its potential for recreation use. It will be a District Reserve and, as such, all expenditure on development will be spread across both existing and future units of demand across the district over the twenty year period. The development and upgrade of the Conical Hill/Oregon Heights/Lucas Lane reserve walkway is required to cater for the increased demands put on this reserve from growth and a local desire to fund this project. The cost will therefore be spread across the future units of demand from within the Hanmer Springs Ward. The development of the facilities at the Hanmer Springs Domain was identified by the Hanmer Springs Community Board as a key project to undertake after discussions with the community. The portion of the costs that is deemed to be growth related will be spread across the future units of demand from within the Hanmer Springs Ward. The Amberley Domain Pavilion redevelopment provides for an improvement to an amenity reserve. The cost will therefore be spread across both existing and future units of demand from within the Amberley Ward. The Omihi Reserve Netball court upgrade provides for an improvement to an amenity reserve. The cost will therefore be spread across both existing and future units of demand from within the Glenmark Ward. The acquisition and development of Amberley Ward Reserves are to provide for additional recreation facilities and sports grounds within the Ward that will be required due to growth over the foreseeable future, as identified in the Amberley Reserve Strategy. Its cost will thus be recovered from development occurring within the Amberley Ward. Due to a lower amount of growth since the initial planning period, the date for this project has been pushed out to 2029, and its cost will be spread across the future units of demand expected. The acquisition and development of Amberley Township Reserves are to provide for additional neighbourhood reserves, passive reserve areas and linkage strips, in line with the Amberley 205
