Finance
Council is required to have an adopted a Charges Resolution that is compliant with current
planning legislation to issue infrastructure charges and impose conditions about trunk
infrastructure on development. The infrastructure charges revenue is estimated in the order of $2
million per annum.

Risks & Opportunities
Regular reviews with appropriate updates to Council’s Charges Resolution will reduce the risk for
potential legal appeals being lodged against infrastructure charges issued on development.
