EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tuwharetoa Health Charitable Trust [Tuwharetoa Health] have fitted out 80 Tuwharetoa Street at significant expense to create one location to house multiple health services to provide community health services. Previously many of these services were in individual locations and this one new site creates efficiencies and improvements in the ability to deliver these crucial services. The fit out has created an assessment for DC’s, equating to $51,337.82 inclusive of GST, which Tuwharetoa Health have requested be waived due to their unique situation as a community health provided under a charity umbrella. The proposed 2021 Development Contributions Policy, has significantly changed our assessment for these types of commercial fitouts, meaning we would unlikely charge any DC’s for this sort of development from 1 July 2021. It is therefore appropriate to consider this request to waive fees, without fear of precedent based on the unique services being provided and the upcoming change in Policy direction. The preferred option is to grant a waiver in full. RECOMMENDATION(S) That Council approves the full waiver of Development Contributions for Tuwharetoa Health Charitable Trust in respect of the property at 80 Tuwharetoa Street, Taupō to a value of $51,337.82 inclusive of GST. BACKGROUND The proposal has not been presented previously. Tuwharetoa Health Charitable Trust have recently completed a significant fitout at 80 Tuwharetoa Street, Taupo at a cost of approximately $960,000. The new building will provide a range of community-based services for residents to support their wellbeing in health, education, and social services. As part of the normal building consent process, a development contribution [DC] assessment was completed based on the current DC Policy. Based on the footprint of the fit out the DC charge was assessed at $51,337.82 inclusive of GST. Given the building is new and houses multiple tenancies (WSP and Anytime Fitness), the previous credit on the site was already utilised. Tuwharetoa Health Charitable Trust have written to Council to request a waiver of the DC’s in consideration of their work as a charitable trust providing valuable community health care. DISCUSSION The DC Policy ensures that new demand generated from growth is funding fairly and transparently from all development, including subdivision, building consents and new service connections. Tuwharetoa Health have recently undertaken a major refit of a new commercial building at 80 Tuwharetoa Street and the following DC assessment was provided in accordance with the current DC Policy based on the footprint of the area being refitted for the new health care facility: Tuwharetoa Health have written to Council requesting a waiver of the fee’s based on the valuable community health care service they provide and as a registered not-for-profit charity that has limited funding (see attached letter).
