Based on information provided by an independent registered valuer in the compilation of the "City of Wagga Wagga Section 94 Contributions Plan 2006", the following 'en globo' land valuations apply to determining contributions for open space land acquisition:

$390,000 per hectare for land in Estella and Boorooma

Adjustments to the Land Value index will be based on a registered valuers determination of the "en globo" land value per hectare in the Northern and Southern areas of Wagga Wagga mentioned above.

Per clause 6.5 of the Sewer Development Servicing Plan, the relevant increases in the Consumer Price Index for the June 2007 quarter have been applied resulting in an adopted Sewer Developer Charge of $1,932 per equivalent tenement.
