Rotorua is growing!

Growth creates demands on our water, sewerage and storm water services which this Council believes should be contributed to by those that create the demand.

Consultation with the community aimed to test who should pay for this growth. Currently growth is borne by the ratepayers of our district. Under this proposal a development contribution would levy the developer seeking support from Council to fund the expansion of water, sewerage and storm water networks. In the absence of this policy, Council will have to borrow to invest in the additional growth.
