Request a Special Assessment

In support of any application for special assessment you must supply, for each activity, all relevant evidence of actual demand reductions on Council’s infrastructure. This information is to be in the form of metrics provided by an appropriately qualified professional, referencing relevant Policy provisions.

In applying for a special assessment, the applicant must demonstrate to Council’s satisfaction on an activity by activity basis that:

a) the actual HUEs of demand generated by the development are materially lower than the HUEs of demand assessed under the methodology set out in this Policy and in any event lower than modelled demand by five or more HUEs of demand, and;

b) for an activity, the reduced HUEs create capacity in Council’s infrastructure network which Council is satisfied is material having regard to the nature of the development, its location, and implications for Council’s infrastructure programme.
