PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        28 JANUARY 2014

  It should be noted that an infrastructure charges rebate for premises is not transferable. Therefore
  an infrastructure charges rebate will not apply for any relocation to new premises if a rebate for the
  existing premises has already been granted by Council.
  For leased premises, rather than an infrastructure charges rebate, the amount of the contribution
  or charge (or part thereof) will remain an ‘unfulfilled’ debt on the land that will be cancelled with
  revocation of the relevant development permit upon expiry of the lease.
  Infrastructure charges will not be rebated where the purpose of the development is to raise funds
  by the sale of land or for normal independent living residential developments.
  Applications
  Council may, at the request of a non-profit community organisation, give a rebate for infrastructure
  charges. The request must be made at the time the development application is submitted. The
  request must provide sufficient details and other particulars to enable categorisations to be made
  under this policy.
  A non-profit community organisation is to provide evidence of its non-profit and incorporated or
  registered status. This shall include providing Council with a copy of its relevant constitution or
  governing documents and registration number under the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 or
  the Collections Act 1966 as appropriate.
  Amount of Rebate
  Council will rebate the cost or part of the cost of infrastructure charges for eligible community
  organisations in accordance with Table 1 — Rebates for Eligible Community Organisations.
  Relevant Infrastructure Networks
  This policy is applicable only to infrastructure networks which attract developer contributions and
  charges and which are owned and controlled by Council. Rebates do not apply to Water Supply
  and Sewerage networks under the control of Unitywater.
  The type of organisation and the purpose of development must both be satisfied in order to gain
  the rebate.
