Where—
A is the amount payable

	(ii)	if a group of those allotments are of the same size—an allotment in the group to be used solely or predominantly for residential purposes (a residential allotment) must be rejected before a non-residential allotment in the group;
	(d)	where all of the new allotments are of the same size—a residential allotment must be rejected before a non-residential allotment.

	(1)	Where—
	(a)	at the time at which a capital contribution becomes payable under regulation 27 or 29 in relation to an allotment, there was situated on the allotment one or more septic tanks or non-complying AWT systems, the amount payable under that regulation is reduced by the lower rebate;
	(b)	if the owner or occupier of an allotment referred to in regulation 27 or 29 satisfies the Corporation that, at the time at which a capital contribution becomes payable under that regulation in relation to the allotment, there was situated on the allotment one or more complying AWT systems with the capacity to properly treat all the wastewater produced on the allotment, the amount payable under that subregulation is reduced by the higher rebate.
	(2)	The owner or occupier of an allotment is not entitled to a rebate under both paragraphs (a) and (b) of subregulation (1).
32—Division of land in non-urban area
	(1)	Where land that comprises one or more allotments in a non-urban area and that constitutes adjacent land in relation to a sewer is divided so as to create additional allotments, the standard capital contribution is payable to the Corporation in respect of each of a number of allotments determined by subtracting the number of allotments comprising the land before the division from the number of allotments created by the division that constitute adjacent land in relation to that sewer.
	(2)	For the purposes of subregulation (1) where the land comprised in a strata plan under the Strata Titles Act 1988 is to be divided under Part 19AB of the Real Property Act 1886, that land will be regarded as one allotment and the allotments comprised of the strata units and the common property will be disregarded.
33—Exemption from capital contribution

	(c)	the owner or occupier of the allotment complies with subregulation (5).
	(2)	A capital contribution, less the rebate prescribed by subregulation (4), becomes payable in relation to an allotment referred to in subregulation (1) if, at any time in the future, the requirements of paragraph (a) or (c) of subregulation (1) are not satisfied.
	(3)	The amount of the capital contribution referred to in subregulation (2) is the amount prescribed by regulation 27 or 29 at the time at which the capital contribution becomes payable under that subregulation.

	(b)	has been used and maintained in accordance with the Waste Control Regulations during the immediately preceding period of three months.
	(6)	The owner or occupier of an allotment will be taken to have complied with subregulation (5) if he or she, or a person acting on his or her behalf, satisfies the Corporation of the matters referred to in that subregulation at any time during a period commencing 14 days before and ending 14 days after the time prescribed by that subregulation or the time as extended by the Corporation under subregulation (8).
	(7)	The Corporation may release a person who is liable to pay sewerage rates in respect of land from one half (or such lesser proportion as the Corporation thinks fit) of the rates if, at the commencement of the period in respect of which the rates are payable, all the wastewater produced on the land was treated by means of a complying AWT system that is situated on the land and has the capacity to properly treat the wastewater.
	(8)	The Corporation may, to avoid or reduce hardship in a particular case, extend—
