9.6     Infrastructure charges taken to be a rate

        A levied charge is, for the purpose of its recovery, taken to be rates of the local
        government that levied the charge. Within the meaning of the Local Government Act,
        this means:

                 (b)     an infrastructure charge may be recovered from the person for the
                         time being owning the relevant land, regardless of who was the owner
                         or other person upon whom the charges was imposed;

                 (c)     Interest is payable on overdue payments; and

                 (d)     If charges are unpaid for 3 years, the land can be sold to recover the
                         outstanding charges.

9.7     Interest on overdue charges

        Compound interest calculated daily at the rate stated in “Council’s Revenue Statement”
        is payable on all overdue infrastructure charges outstanding after the due date for
        payment stated in the charges notice.

9.8     Goods and services tax

        The federal government has determined that rates and utility charges levied by local
        government will be GST free. Accordingly, no GST is included in infrastructure
        charges.


  10.         Allocation of        adopted           infrastructure         charge    (breakup
              agreement)
10.1    Purpose

        Section 10 states how the adopted infrastructure charge of the Council and the distributor-
        retailer is to be allocated in accordance with the breakup agreement.

10.2    Allocation of adopted infrastructure charge to the Council and the distributor-
        retailer (breakup agreement)

        (1)      The proportion of an adopted infrastructure charge to be allocated to the Council
                 and the distributor-retailer is stated in Table 10.1 (Allocation of adopted
                 infrastructure charge (breakup agreement) to the Council and the distributor-
                 retailer). For non-residential development, this proportion of the adopted charge
                 excludes the stormwater network which is calculated separately and allocated
                 100% to Council.

        (2)      The levied charge is calculated and issued separately by the Council and
                 distributor-retailer as applying to their respective infrastructure networks in
                 accordance with the breakup agreement.

        (3)      Where development is not connected to the water and sewerage networks, the
                 levied charge issued by distributor-retailer is reduced as determined by the
                 distributor-retailer.
