sec.90 Surplus special rates or charges after plan is cancelled

This section applies if— the council decides to cancel an overall plan before it is carried out; and the council has not spent all the special rates or charges. The council must, as soon as practicable, pay the unspent special rates or charges to the current owners of the land on which the special rates or charges were levied. The council must pay the current owners— if the overall plan identifies the beneficiaries of the plan—in the proportions that the council, by resolution, decides; or if the overall plan does not identify the beneficiaries of the plan—in the same proportions as the special rates or charges were last levied. The council must decide the proportions having regard to— the proportions in which the special rates or charges were last levied; and the extent to which the rateable land, or the owners of the rateable land, will benefit from or have access to the service, facility or activity. The beneficiaries of the plan are the owners of the rateable land that will benefit from or have access to the service, facility or activity.
