    How, if at all, do development contributions under the Local Government Act 2002 apply where housing developments are approved under the Fast-track Approvals Act on land zoned as rural?

Answer

In accordance with sections 102, 198 and 201 of the Local Government Act 2002, development contributions must be applied consistent with a local authority's development contribution policy. That is the same under the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024 as it is under the Resource Management Act 1991.
