PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                           9 AUGUST 2016


Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting, 21 July 2016, Item 9, Page 7
That Council note the report by the Infrastructure Assessment Coordinator to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 12 July 2016 and approve the Priority Infrastructure Area
(PIA) Maps provided at Attachment 1 for the proposed Local Government Infrastructure Plan
(LGIP) to replace the current Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) of the current Noosa Plan planning
scheme.

Finance & Risk
If the desired action is implemented and the unnecessary requirements were removed from the
Statutory Guidelines, it would:
    greatly reduce the amount of time, resources, effort and costs to all local governments and
      their communities;
    enable concentration on detailing the future infrastructure requirements and costs necessary
      in providing infrastructure for development growth;
    have no impact on the purpose of a LGIP as described in sections 2.2 to 2.4 of the Statutory
      Guideline 03/04 since this all relates to future infrastructure costs required for future
      development;
    have no impact for the Development Industry since the legislation has set the permissible
      maximum charges, enabled establishment costs for future works for offsets to be revalued
      by development and enabled conversion applications of non-trunk infrastructure to become
      trunk infrastructure that is not currently in a LGIP; and
    drastically speed up the ability for local governments to achieve LGIPs thereby promoting
      the State Government’s desired direction for planning reform and not “at the expense of
      community participation or the role of local government” per the Deputy Premier’s statement
      May 2015 contained on the Department’s website.
