| 1. Do you have any feedback on the IAWAI Water Services Strategy? |
Comment from your report is charges will be according to property value not water usage. How is this possible. Most services have a 'line charge' or similar and then base on use. Planned infra-structure should have always factored growth in so a sudden cost to cover what government and councils should be doing seems poorly thought out.
|
| 2a. Do you support a growth pays for growth approach for new residential and commercial developments, including the use of growth charges to help fund growth-related infrastructure and services? |
No
|
| Please provide comment. |
Poor planning over many years.
|
| 2b. In the current residential growth charges proposal secondary minor dwellings (i.e. granny flats) may be treated as ½ HUE. Do you support treating secondary minor dwellings as ½ HUE? If you have an alternative proposal, please explain. |
Partially support
|
| Please explain. |
!/2 HUE is fine if property used by part of a family but not if it is rented out or used to as a business building.
