    Fees and Charges

    This consultation is now closed.  Submissions were open for four weeks from 24 March 2023.

    The council reviews and adjusts fees and charges annually. In most cases, increases are limited to the Local Government Cost Index (inflation factor), forecast at 4.2 per cent for 2023/24, except this year we are proposing:

    • Amendments to Resource Consent fee structures
    • Introduction of new fees for Engineering Plan Approvals, pre-application and concept meetings, and the Food Control Programme
    • Removal of several fees
    • Increasing vehicle crossing and building consent processing fees to reflect actual cost
    • Correction of a clerical error in 2022/23

    Resource Consent fees can only be set following the Special Consultative Procedure as prescribed by section 83 of the Local Government Act, which requires adoption of a Statement of Proposal for the proposed changes. Refer to section 36 of RMA for further details.
