Annual Report 2020-21

          Noosa Shire Council


  Pursuant to section 120(1)(c), section 121(a) and section 122(1)(b) of the LG Regulation Council
  may, at its discretion, determine whether to grant a rebate of all or part of the minimum waste
  management utility charge referred to in section 5.1.5 of the Revenue Statement to ratepayers
  whose waste services have been reduced or cancelled as a result of Coronavirus economic impacts.


  Invitations to Change Tenders
  For the period, there was one reportable invitation made by Council to change tenders for Tender
  T000030 - Construction of Carparks and Pedestrian Safety Improvements, due to the introduction
  of additional specification to the tender.


  Infrastructure Charges
  Under Queensland infrastructure charges legislation, Council levies infrastructure charges on
  development approvals. They can be collected in the form of monetary contributions, or in some
  instances in the form of physical trunk infrastructure in lieu of paying the charge. The timing of
  money contributions received may differ from the timing of when the infrastructure is constructed,
  and any unspent funds are held by Council in reserve for that purpose in future years.
  Council’s planning scheme identifies the particular trunk infrastructure can be funded through
  infrastructure charges in its Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP).
  Table 13 summarises the infrastructure charges revenue and expenditure for the 2020-21 financial
  year. In accordance with the Planning Regulation 2017, full details of infrastructure charges are
  provided on Council’s website.
