Schedule 2: Matters that may be used to define categories of rateable land

You could also call this:

"Things that help decide which group a piece of land belongs to for rating purposes"

Illustration for Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

When defining categories of rateable land, you can look at how the land is used. You can also consider the activities allowed in the area under the Resource Management Act 1991. This includes rules in the district or regional plan. You can look at proposed activities and rules in a district or regional plan under the Resource Management Act 1991, but only if no one has objected or all objections have been resolved. The size of the land and the services available to it are also important. Other factors include where the land is located, its annual value, capital value, and land value. These are all things that can help define categories of rateable land as outlined in the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, which is empowered by sections like ss 14 and 17.
