123: Schedule of assets for which development contributions will be used

You could also call this:

"What development contributions will pay for: a list of new water projects and assets"

Illustration for Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025

When a water organisation makes a development contributions policy, it must include a schedule of assets. This schedule lists the new assets or projects that the development contributions will be used for. You will see each asset, its estimated cost, and how the organisation plans to pay for it, including how much will come from development contributions and how much from other sources.

The schedule also includes assets that a territorial authority or water organisation has already paid for, expecting new development to happen. The organisation sorts these assets into groups based on the area they serve and the type of water services they provide. They can also group assets in a way that makes sense for the projects they are working on.

A water organisation can change its schedule of assets at any time if something changes with an asset or if it needs to add a new one, as long as it does not increase the total amount of development contributions required. If the schedule is too big to print, the organisation can make it available online and provide a link to it from its development contributions policy, or tell you where you can find a hard copy.

Development contributions: Development contributions policy

123Schedule of assets for which development contributions will be used

  1. The schedule of assets contained in a water organisation’s development contributions policy must list—

  2. each new asset, additional asset, asset of increased capacity, or programme of works for which the development contributions set out in the schedule of development contributions are intended to be used or have already been used; and
    1. the estimated capital cost of each asset described in paragraph (a); and
      1. the proportion of the capital cost that the water organisation proposes to recover through development contributions; and
        1. the proportion of the capital cost that the water organisation proposes to recover from other sources.
          1. The schedule must also include assets for which capital expenditure has already been incurred by a territorial authority or a water organisation in anticipation of development.

          2. The schedule—

          3. must list assets according to—
            1. the parts of the water organisation’s service area for which the development contribution is required; and
              1. each group of water services activities for which the development contribution is required; and
              2. may list assets in logical and appropriate groups that reflect the intended or completed programmes of works or capacity expansion.
                1. A water organisation may amend the schedule of assets at any time without consultation, formality, or a review of the schedule if—

                2. the amendment is being made to reflect a change of circumstances in relation to an asset that is listed in the schedule or is to be added to the schedule; and
                  1. the amendment does not increase the total or overall development contribution that will be required to be made to the water organisation.
                    1. If the water organisation is satisfied that the schedule or any part of it is too large or impractical to print in hard copy form, the water organisation may—

                    2. provide the schedule in a publicly accessible electronic format; and
                      1. provide and maintain an electronic link from the development contributions policy to the schedule (if the policy is on the internet) or state where a hard copy of the schedule can be found and inspected.
