Dividends policy
Christchurch City Council does not have a dividends policy. As Christchurch City Council’s Water Services are in-house, a dividend policy is not applicable.
Policy for funding growth
Christchurch’s population is forecast to continue to grow, creating demand for new housing, business premises and community facilities and the infrastructure needed to support these.
In addition, household relocations in response to the impacts of climate change may manifest as growth development. Changes to land use as the city adapts and people move away from hazards, including sea level rise and in response to severe weather events, will see residents move to safer parts of the district.
The Council needs to provide the right infrastructure at the right time to support sustainable growth and ensure ongoing resilience to the impacts of climate change and natural hazards. We look to fund infrastructure to service growth as much as possible from development contributions and assets provided by developers when undertaking new developments. This means we keep the rates contribution to fund growth infrastructure to a minimum.
We make significant capital investment in infrastructure specifically to service growth development in the District (i.e. new subdivision and/or more intensive development of existing developed land). We use development contributions to recover a fair and equitable portion of the cost of this investment from persons undertaking development. Development contributions requirements are in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002 and our Development Contributions Policy.
We borrow to fund spending where the benefit is perceived to endure for multiple years – for example, capital expenditure on improving assets, or growth prior to the collection of development contributions.
