Waipa DC – Long Term Plan
Waipā District Council has wrapped up consultation on its 2025–2034 Long Term Plan (LTP), which outlines major infrastructure projects, funding priorities, and how the Council intends to pay for growth over the next decade.
Why It Matters:
- Significant increases to rates and development contributions (DCs) are on the table.
- Council is planning major upgrades to water, wastewater, roads, and community infrastructure.
- Higher costs are expected for subdivisions, land development, and new housing projects.
What’s Changing:
- Development contributions are likely to rise sharply to fund growth infrastructure.
- Rates increases proposed across residential and rural properties.
- Key growth areas like Cambridge, Te Awamutu, and Kihikihi are most affected.
Who It Affects:
- Developers: Expect increased DCs impacting project costs and feasibility.
- Landowners: Council Rates rises will affect holding costs and returns.
- Anyone planning subdivision, development, or investment in Waipā.
