The Council’s funding
of Stormwater and
Drainage services
contributes to the
Hurunui district being:
A desirable and safe
place to live:
- We have attractive
well designed
townships
- Communities
have access to
adequate health and
emergency services
and systems and
resources are
available to meet
civil defence
emergencies
- Risks to public
health are identified
and appropriately
managed
A place with essential
infrastructure:
- We have a strong
emphasis on service
delivery across
all infrastructure
including roading,
water (for drinking
and development),
waste water,
stormwater and
solid waste
Those who use the
service benefit more
than those who do
not, hence, for reasons
of transparency and
account- ability, there
is justification for
funding it distinctly
from other services.
There are no significant
costs involved in this
distinction.
100% benefit to the
properties, and this based
on the area drained.
Benefits from capital
expenditure accrue over
the life of the investment.
If any of the Capital
Expenditure caters for
future growth of the
scheme, then that portion
of the expenditure that
relates to growth may
be funded from future
users via Development
Contributions. Benefits
from operational
expenditure accrue at the
time of the expenditure;
benefits are proportional
to the area drained.
Operational Costs:
- 100% Targeted Rate based on the area benefiting.
- Engineer for stormwater catchment and
management plans funded through the General
Rate.
Capital Costs:
- Significant Council capital expenditure is funded by
a loan as per the Council’s Internal Financing Policy.
- If loans are not raised, then it will be from targeted
rates.
- If any of the Capital Expenditure caters for future
growth of the scheme, then that portion of the
expenditure that relates to growth may be funded
from future users via Development Contributions
and Financial Contributions.
Sustainability:
- The ongoing negative effects on the economic
wellbeing of those who pay for stormwater
services will be offset by future gains in economic
and environmental wellbeing.
