别错过23年开云体育官方网站入口查询(2023趋势新闻) Policy to 30 June 2023
Under the current policy, spare capacity is made available to Developers at no charge i.e. the third component of developer charges (headworks) does not apply. (This will cease on 30 June 2023.)
Fundamentally, TasWater’s developer charges approach is that a developer only pays Works External costs directly attributable to servicing their specific development (i.e. installs only those assets required to support the development).
TasWater’s policy approach (until 30 June 2023) is summarised as follows:
|
Sufficient Capacity |
Insufficient Capacity |
Works Internal |
Developer pays all costs |
Developer pays all costs |
Works external - Extension |
Developer pays costs of extension required for development |
Developer pays costs of extension required for development |
Works External - Expansion |
Not applicable |
Developer pays costs of expansion required for the development |
A range of fees and charges also apply, including 别错过开云体育官方入口登录v.6.3.1(2023趋势信息) and ongoing fixed charges relating to new connections.
Isolated Developments
Costs for providing services to developments not involving any extension and/or expansion of existing TasWater systems are paid by the developer. TasWater, at its complete discretion, contribute to the development.
Advice Regarding Works Required
A developer will only pay Works External costs, assessed by TasWater on a case-by-case basis, directly attributable to servicing their specific development. TasWater will, upon request, provide details of the works required to service a proposed development (including mains connection costs) relating to any Extension or Expansion, enabling independent costing by the developer.
Strategic Opportunities
If TasWater has works programmed that would supply capacity for a development it will discuss this with the developer.
Alternatively, where TasWater makes a strategic decision to install additional capacity, it will fund any additional cost over and above the cost of assets required to service the proposed development.
Existing Planning Permits Containing a Headworks Condition
Developers may apply (through Council) for a minor amendment to their permit (S.56 Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993) to allow a development to be reassessed under the current developer charges approach.
In most cases a headworks condition can simply be removed. However, in some instances additional Works External may be required for Expansion (as the removed headworks payment had previously covered this), and a new permit may be required.
The decision to apply to amend a permit or for a new permit is entirely at the developer’s discretion. Developers are encouraged to discuss their options with TasWater prior to submitting any amendment applications to Council.
