Equity and Social Justice Issues Associated with Financing Infrastructure in New Urban Development
The implications for social justice and equity of the move towards self financing of urban infrastructure are explored in this paper. Self financing means that costs and benefits of infrastructure are regarded as interdependent. Direct developer investment, capital contributions and increased user charges are the three main methods used in Australia. There is debate about who will bear the burden of costs, the land owner, the developer, or the consumer of housing, when there is direct developer investment in infrastructure. Capital contributions will not generate sufficient income to cover all costs unless the nexus test is interpreted widely. However, this may mean that house prices could rise significantly, making housing less affordable. Care is needed to prevent double charging of consumers, especially where there is a mix of financing methods used. Use of self financing for upper tier facilities is questionable as this may deny access to low income groups.
