Development Contribution Growth Model
Development contribution assessments depend on anticipating likely City growth over a given time period. The estimate may be needed across the city for “citywide” contributions or for particular locations or “catchments”.
Growth in the City has been projected for three components: new residential households, additional non-residential floor area, and additional impervious surfaces. Household growth, as assessed by Statistics New Zealand, is used as the basis for development contribution assessments.
This projection, made specifically for Christchurch City, identifies occupied permanent private residential units and allows for future fertility, mortality, net migration and household patterns of the population. Medium projections have been chosen as the basis for development contribution assessments. Non-residential growth, as estimated by the Council, is based on historic rates of development and relationships to future growth in population and employment. Changes in impervious surfaces in Christchurch City are based on information provided by Landcare Research derived from satellite imagery. Impervious surface projections were generated using projected household and non-residential growth to identify likely areas of future change.
More detailed information on the growth model used and the calculation methodology for development contribution charges is available from the Christchurch City Council Civic Offices, Tuam street.
Capital projects
Projects identified as 'capital projects' are required to provide for the needs of a growing city through capital expenditure that is projected over the next 10 years through the Long-Term Council Community Plan. The projects are listed by activity. Some projects identified are historic, but have capacity to provide for future growth.
Catchment maps
These maps show the main areas of demand (catchments) for development contributions. Catchments are determined based on their key characteristics, including geography and service delivery. There are two types of contribution catchment:
- Citywide - one catchment for the whole city for the following activities - water supply and conservation, wastewater treatment and transport.
- Local - the city divided into catchments for the following activities: reserves, wastewater collection, surface water management and leisure facilities.
Individual capital works projects are allocated to either local or citywide areas of demand, depending on the nature of the project and the community it is required to serve.
