Why are DCs charged for areas that don't receive services?

While DCs are charged for any new property, the amount charged depends on the location of the new property and what services the property can connect to.

Whilst rural sites do not generally receive reticulated water, stormwater or wastewater, they're served by the district’s roads and community facilities, so contributions for those services are charged across the district.  Our current policy only includes charges for services that are available to the site.
