Development Contributions Policy - 1 July 2026
Selwyn Water has adopted as its initial Development Contributions Policy the relevant parts of the Selwyn District Council Development Contributions Policy which was in place immediately before Selwyn District Council amended it in line with the Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025. This was subject only to those amendments Selwyn Water considered necessary to reflect the change in legislation.
This policy will continue to apply during our establishment phase and provides the primary mechanism for recovering growth related capital costs associated with drinking water and wastewater services. We expect the policy to remain in place until any new legislation is enacted addressing the funding of growth infrastructure.
