Noosa Shire Council’s Fees and Charges Register 2021-2022 relevantly provides:
 Material Change of Use – Code Assessable
                        Use                                               Fee

 Office                                            Up to 100m² GFA: $6,062.00

Council advised in its email of 10 March 2022 that as the development application seeks approval
to establish either Commercial Business Type 1: Office & Commercial Business or Type 2:
Medical in each tenancy within the proposed development), that an application fee for each use
applied across the entire GFA for the proposal will be required. Although we do not necessarily
agree that the proposal for these interchangeable uses warrants a double application fee in the
circumstances, in the interests of completing lodgement within our statutory timeframe we
have calculated and provided the Application Fee in accordance with the directions given by
Council in its 10 March email, as follows:
