Revenue generated by the holiday parks is shared between the Noosa Holiday Parks Management
contractor and Council based on a revenue split arrangement. The cost of delivering the services
associated with the holiday parks as like any business are subject to inflationary
pressures. Accordingly, the proposed fees and charges consider these cost increases to effectively
deliver the Noosa Holiday Parks program into the future.

The proposed fees and charges have also been benchmarked and tested against fees and charges
adopted by government and privately owned camping and caravan parks located in the Fraser Coast
Council, Gympie Regional Council, Sunshine Coast Council, Tweed Shire Council and Byron Bay
Council regions to ensure the proposed fees and charges are in line with industry pricing.

Over time, the Noosa Holiday Park program has developed into a high quality and popular
recreational camping and caravaning tourism offering. Visitation levels have consistently grown year
on year. The proposed fees and charges are considered commensurate with safeguarding and
maintaining the viability of the Noosa Holiday Parks into the future.

Superseded Planning Scheme

With the recent endorsement of Amendment No 2. to the Noosa 2020 plan by Council, a fee for a
development application to be considered under the superseded planning scheme is also being
