You could also call this:

“What's in the list of payments for new buildings and developments”

The schedule of development contributions must list the amounts you need to pay in each district. These amounts are calculated based on what’s needed for reserves, network infrastructure, and community infrastructure.

The schedule also needs to say when you have to pay these contributions. This could be when you get a resource consent under the Resource Management Act 1991, when you get a building consent under the Building Act 2004, or when you get permission for a service connection.

If different parts of the district have different contribution amounts, the schedule needs to show this for each part.

The schedule must separate the information for each activity or group of activities that require different development contributions.
