Fees and Charges 2021/2022 Review
Consultation on the Fees and Charges 2021/2022 Review ended at 5pm, Friday 9 April 2021.
On Tuesday 29 June 2021, Council will formally adopt the Fees and Charges 2021/2022. The public are welcome to attend this meeting.
Fees and charges come into effect 1 July 2021.
Our Fees and Charges have been reviewed as part of the preparation of the 2021 – 2031 Long Term Plan. This is the list of how much we will charge for specific services and functions.
The purpose of reviewing the Fees and Charges is to ensure that each charge will recover the actual and reasonable costs associated with:
1. Goods, services or amenities provided by the local authority.
2. The issuing or monitoring of permits, inspections and other approvals associated with Council’s bylaws.
3. Processing and making decisions in relation to resource consents, plan changes and designations, and fulfilling certain other regulatory obligations under legislation that empowers Council to prescribe fees, including the Resource Management Act 1991, Building Act 2004, Food Act 2014, Health Act 1956, Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, Dog Control Act 1996.
Have your say before 5pm, Friday 9 April 2021.
