  1. Where land in an urban area that is adjacent land in relation to a sewer is divided so as to create additional allotments, an amount is payable to the Corporation in respect of each of those additional allotments as follows:

    (a)in the case of an allotment that will not be used solely or predominantly for residential purposes and will have an area of 1 200 square metres or more—an amount calculated in accordance with the following formula:

    Where—

    A is the amount payable

    SC is the standard capital contribution

    AA is the area of the allotment expressed in square metres;

    (b)in every other case—the standard capital contribution.

  2. The allotments to be regarded as additional allotments for the purpose of subregulation (1) will be determined as follows:

    (a)for the purposes of the determination original allotments will be the allotment or allotments comprising the land before the division being land that comprised adjacent land in relation to the sewer and new allotments will be confined to those allotments created by the division that comprise adjacent land in relation to the sewer;

    (b)only new allotments will be regarded as additional allotments and of those a number equivalent to the number of original allotments will be rejected in accordance with subparagraphs (c) or (d);

    (c)where all of the new allotments are not of the same size—

    (i)a larger allotment must be rejected before a smaller allotment;

    (ii)if a group of those allotments are of the same size—an allotment in the group to be used solely or predominantly for residential purposes (a residential allotment) must be rejected before a non-residential allotment in the group;

    (d)where all of the new allotments are of the same size—a residential allotment must be rejected before a non-residential allotment.

  3. For the purposes of subregulation (2)(a) where the land comprised in a strata plan under the Strata Titles Act 1988 is to be divided under Part 19AB of the Real Property Act 1886, that land will be regarded as the original allotment and the allotments comprised of the strata units and the common property will be disregarded.

29—Land in non-urban area

  1. The following amounts are payable to the Corporation for the extension of a sewer to an allotment in a non-urban area and for the connection of the sewer to the allotment:

(2)Subregulation (1) does not impose any obligation on the Corporation to extend a sewer.

  1. The following amounts are payable to the Corporation for the connection of an allotment in a non-urban area to an adjacent sewer laid after 1 July 1987:

30—Charge for extension of sewer in other cases

31—Rebate for septic tank or AWT system

  1. Where—

    (a)at the time at which a capital contribution becomes payable under regulation 27 or 29 in relation to an allotment, there was situated on the allotment one or more septic tanks or non-complying AWT systems, the amount payable under that regulation is reduced by the lower rebate;

    (b)if the owner or occupier of an allotment referred to in regulation 27 or 29 satisfies the Corporation that, at the time at which a capital contribution becomes payable under that regulation in relation to the allotment, there was situated on the allotment one or more complying AWT systems with the capacity to properly treat all the wastewater produced on the allotment, the amount payable under that subregulation is reduced by the higher rebate.

  2. The owner or occupier of an allotment is not entitled to a rebate under both paragraphs (a) and (b) of subregulation (1).

32—Division of land in non-urban area

  1. Where land that comprises one or more allotments in a non-urban area and that constitutes adjacent land in relation to a sewer is divided so as to create additional allotments, the standard capital contribution is payable to the Corporation in respect of each of a number of allotments determined by subtracting the number of allotments comprising the land before the division from the number of allotments created by the division that constitute adjacent land in relation to that sewer.

  2. For the purposes of subregulation (1) where the land comprised in a strata plan under the Strata Titles Act 1988 is to be divided under Part 19AB of the Real Property Act 1886, that land will be regarded as one allotment and the allotments comprised of the strata units and the common property will be disregarded.

33—Exemption from capital contribution

  1. Notwithstanding regulation 27 or 29, a capital contribution is not payable in relation to an allotment if—

    (a)the allotment is not connected to a sewer; and

    (b)the owner or occupier of the allotment satisfies the Corporation that all the wastewater produced on the allotment is treated by means of a complying AWT system that is situated on the allotment and has the capacity to properly treat the wastewater; and

    (c)the owner or occupier of the allotment complies with subregulation (5).

  2. A capital contribution, less the rebate prescribed by subregulation (4), becomes payable in relation to an allotment referred to in subregulation (1) if, at any time in the future, the requirements of paragraph (a) or (c) of subregulation (1) are not satisfied.

  3. The amount of the capital contribution referred to in subregulation (2) is the amount prescribed by regulation 27 or 29 at the time at which the capital contribution becomes payable under that subregulation.

  4. A capital contribution that becomes payable in relation to an allotment under subregulation (2) is subject to—

    (a)the higher rebate if it becomes payable within one year after notice of the laying of the sewer was published in the Gazette; or

    (b)the lower rebate in all other cases.

  5. For the purposes of subregulation (1), the owner or occupier of an allotment referred to in that subregulation, or a person acting on behalf of the owner or occupier, must satisfy the Corporation at three monthly intervals that the AWT system situated on the allotment—

    (b)has been used and maintained in accordance with the Waste Control Regulations during the immediately preceding period of three months.

  6. The owner or occupier of an allotment will be taken to have complied with subregulation (5) if he or she, or a person acting on his or her behalf, satisfies the Corporation of the matters referred to in that subregulation at any time during a period commencing 14 days before and ending 14 days after the time prescribed by that subregulation or the time as extended by the Corporation under subregulation (8).

  1. The Corporation may release a person who is liable to pay sewerage rates in respect of land from one half (or such lesser proportion as the Corporation thinks fit) of the rates if, at the commencement of the period in respect of which the rates are payable, all the wastewater produced on the land was treated by means of a complying AWT system that is situated on the land and has the capacity to properly treat the wastewater.

  2. The Corporation may, to avoid or reduce hardship in a particular case, extend—
