  Non-profit community organisations have been classified into the following categories.
  e    Community-based Organisations
       An incorporated body that either wholly or in part relies on membership fees, hall rental
       charges, fundraising activities or government grants for its financial existence.    These
       organisations do not have any liquor or gaming licence.          Examples include welfare
       organisations, cultural organisations, indigenous organisations, environmental organisations,
       rescue organisations, scouts and guides, youth organisations, senior citizens clubs, public
       halls.
  e    Charitable Organisations (non-profit and volunteer)
       A non-profit organisation, set up to undertake community activities, which receives funding
       from government grants and charges to recipients or customers, but which relies mainly on
       unpaid volunteer labour. Some paid workers may be involved. These organisations do not
       have any liquor or gaming licence.       Examples include Meals on Wheels, Endeavour
       Foundation, Lifeline, St Vincent De Paul, Salvation Army.
  e    Charitable Organisations (non-profit)
       A non-profit organisation set up to undertake community activities which receives funding by
       way of charges to recipients or from government grants, but which mainly relies on paid
       labour. These organisations do not have any liquor or gaming licence.     Examples include
       aged persons’ homes, Red Cross.
  e    Sporting or Recreation Organisations (non-profit and volunteer)
       An incorporated body that is constituted to undertake a sporting activity and primarily relies on
       membership fees, games fees, fundraising activities, but which depends mainly on unpaid
       volunteer labour.  This type of club may use a restricted liquor licence. Examples include
       junior and senior sports clubs, pony clubs.
  e    Community, Sporting or Recreation Organisations (non-profit and gaming or liquor
       licence)
       A sporting club or community organisation that undertakes sporting or community activity open
       to membership that has full bar trading, meals and gaming facilities and relies primarily on
       paid labour. Examples include Tewantin RSL, Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club.
  e ~=—_ Lifesaving Clubs
       An incorporated club affiliated with the Queensland Surf Lifesaving Association or Royal
       Lifesaving Society Queensland that undertakes active lifesaving operations.
  Purpose and Applicability of Rebates
  The rebate system is primarily based on the philosophy that organisations that construct new or
  expanded community service, sporting or recreational facilities should receive a full rebate of the
  infrastructure contributions or charges.
  However, the rebate system also takes into account that some developments also have access to
  other Government grants or subsidies (e.g. Federal or State Government education grants).
  Some community, sporting or recreational (not-for-profit) organisations also provide facilities of a
  commercial nature (e.g. sporting clubs, surf lifesaving clubs or RSL clubs that have full bar trading,
  meals and poker machine facilities).      Infrastructure charges rebates will not apply to the
  commercial component of such organisations as these elements need not be subsidised by the
  community.
  Infrastructure charges rebates will apply for eligible community organisations that are located on
  land owned or controlled by Council, owned or controlled by the Queensland or Australian
  Government, held in trust by the community organisation or owned in freehold by the community
  organisation.
