Non Growth Screen

Non-Growth works are necessary to catch up with the Backlog requirements of existing population and business demands.

The portion of a planned (or completed) capital project that is required to rectify a shortfall in service capacity to meet existing community demand at the current agreed levels of service.

Backlog identified in the Cost Allocation analysis against the project is assessed as a rating charge to the existing community. The contributing catchment for the existing community will reflect the current general rating regime in the community – if general rates are based on a community-wide basis then the whole community served by that infrastructure will be included in determining the rating charge.

The Non Growth charges are based on the Backlog output from Cost Allocations and the units of demand derived from the Growth Model.

The growth model will assess changes in the residential and business communities. Residential changes will be measured as population or dwelling numbers. Business changes will be measured as gross floor area (preferred) or employees. Large businesses may be measured on actual and projected demand.

The growth model will present the growth in at least each five year period (recommended to be each year up to the end of the LTCCP) by planning units in the community. A number of these planning units will be combined to make up the contributing Catchments for DC charging purposes.

Cost Allocation is a method of calculating proportions of project costs to support the distribution of Development Contributions.

Field	Description

units of demands	Units as derived from the Growth Model.
rate	A calculated Non Growth rate on which charges are based.
	The calculated rate will display in orange.
	Once this screen has been saved, the rate will display in black and will be saved to the database.
opening balance	The closing balance from the previous year.
annual capex	The inflated backlog amount weighted across each project year.
debt	Calculated debt, based on the debt rate defined in Settings and the annual capex amount.
interest	Calculated interest based on the credit rate defined in Global Settings and the opening balance.
rates income	Income based on rates charges.
closing balance	Closing balance, calculated from debt + interest - rates income
