Guidelines for infrastructure contributions - Water Corporation

Guidance
These guidelines are made under section 85(3) of the Water Services Act 2012 and apply to infrastructure contributions imposed under the Act by the Water Corporation.
Last updated:

The Water Corporation provides water supply, wastewater and drainage services through an extensive network of infrastructure. The cost of that infrastructure is recovered from a variety of sources, including service and consumption charges, infrastructure contributions, government grants and operating subsidies.

The purpose of these guidelines is to set out the extent to which an infrastructure contribution can be required by the Water Corporation under section 83 of the Act and the methods for determining, or guiding the determination of, the amounts of infrastructure contributions.

The intent of these guidelines is that infrastructure costs are shared fairly and efficiently between developers over time, and between developers and scheme customers.
