A new plan proposes a $500 annual fee on new developments in Hamilton and Waikato to shift infrastructure costs to growth, reducing rates for existing households.
A proposed $500 annual growth charge on new developments in Hamilton and Waikato over 25 years aims to shift infrastructure costs to new buildings, shielding existing households from rising water and wastewater fees.
The draft 10-year strategy by IAWAI, set for public consultation from March 3 to April 6, could reduce annual fixed charges for Waikato District customers from $364 to $142, lowering overall rate increases.
The plan, which includes volumetric charges based on usage, supports sustainable funding, aging infrastructure, and environmental protection while ensuring growth pays for itself.
