202A: Reconsideration process to be in development contributions policy

You could also call this:

“Rules for asking the council to review building fees must be in their policy”

If a local council decides to use development contributions to fund community facilities, they must include a process for reconsidering these contributions in their policy. This process needs to be in addition to other required information about development contributions.

The reconsideration process in the policy must explain two main things:

  1. How you can ask the council to reconsider the development contribution they’ve asked you to pay.

  2. What steps the council will follow when they’re reconsidering the development contribution.

The council has to follow any rules set by the government about this process. The policy should make it clear and easy for you to understand how to request a reconsideration and what will happen after you do.
