Recommendations The Committee the following recommendations: That external apportionment be minimised by the careful choice of planning unit boundaries and the use of Supplementary Levies across a number of planning units. That external apportionment not be permitted for lower order community and recreation infrastructure. That external apportionment generally only be permitted for larger and more complex planning units, and in accord with the conditions set out in Table 30.
