Purpose of Report/Background

The 2019-2020 Register of Fees and Charges took effect from 1 July 2019. At this time it was not evident that section 4.2.1 Reconfigure of a lot Proposal (includes opening roads) and PDA Permissible Development overcharges for the creation of new lots on small subdivisions.

To correct this issue, Attachment 1 proposes changes to section 4.2.1.

Financial IMPLICATIONS

Should the proposed amendment to the fees and charges not be adopted, customers will be levied substantially higher than intended as the base fee for these applications is intended to include up to 3 lots.

RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS

As mentioned under Financial Implications above, there is a potential risk that the department’s revenue target will be greater than what is budgeted.

Should the proposed amendment to the fees and charges not be adopted, customers will be charged a higher fee for a Reconfigure a lot and will be significantly higher than the internal cost of the completing the work.

This report and its recommendations are consistent with the following legislative provisions:

Local Government Act 2009

Planning Act 2016

Economic Development Act 2012
