Infrastructure - Alternative Funding

These papers encourage discussion and seek direction on four cornerstone growth management issues that are needed to be addressed to progress the SmartGrowth Strategy Update.

Tauranga City, western Bay of Plenty sub-region, Hamilton City and Queenstown Lakes District are high growth areas. This growth gives rise to issues including the provision of network infrastructure; significant increases in operating costs; financial sustainability; high infrastructure and service costs; timing lag between investment in growth and the provision of lead infrastructure and the recoupment of costs through development contributions.
