Have your say on Council's Draft Special Charge Scheme Policy
This Consultation has been completed

Council's Special Charge Scheme Policy sets a sound and consistent benchmark for the application and implementation of Special Charge Schemes to enable contributions to upgrades or new infrastructure.
The draft policy applies to the provision of “new” and “upgrade” infrastructure where it can be demonstrated that special benefit can be applied to a property.
The special rate and charge process broadly includes the following:
- community consultation;
- the special benefit test;
- the relevant legislation and precedent;
- scheme preparation and apportionment; and,
- council processes leading to the scheme determination.
Council may consider the implementation of a Special Charge Scheme to defray expenses associated with the cost of infrastructure deemed to provide a special benefit to properties.
The draft policy is available for review via the link to the right.
