Development Contributions Policy

A Development Contributions Policy that was adopted by Taupo District Council in July 2004 requires developers to provide contributions in money or land to fund the additional demand on services including roading, water supply, waste water, parks and storm water management.  Previously Taupo District Council was only able to recover limited costs from developers by way of financial contributions, with ratepayers taking up the shortfall.

The Policy has been reviewed in 2008/2009 and has been updated in conjunction with the 2009 LTCCP.
