Each development occurring within the catchment is required to pay an assessment based on a per hectare rate under the provisions of a servicing agreement. Please note that arterial roadway assessments may not apply to all developments.

The developer or property owner is also required to pay an ARA administration fee of $2000 + GST for the assessment calculation.
