EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The report seeks adoption of proposed General Cost Recovery Fees and Commercial Charges for
the Noosa Holiday Parks for the period from January 2023 to July 2023. The fees and charges are
reviewed every six (6) months as required to maintain a consistent annual forward booking period.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Property Advisor – Commercial Property to the Services &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 8 February 2022 and:
A.      Set fees and charges for the Noosa Holiday Parks to align with the cessation of the end of
        the July 2023 Queensland school holidays; and
B.      Adopt the Proposed General Cost Recovery Fees and Commercial Charges schedule for
        Noosa Holiday Parks for the period ending Monday 10 July 2023 as detailed in the tables
        contained within the report.


REPORT
Current fees and charges for the Noosa Holiday Parks apply until 23 January 2023. Council
maintains an ‘advance’ fees and charges schedule for the parks to allow for forward booking of
sites by customers.
Twice yearly, Council reviews and amends the fees, including benchmarking and suitability
assessment of the fee and charge categories.
The purpose of this report is to propose the adoption of fees and charges for the Noosa Holiday
Parks for a further six (6) months to the end of the July 2023 school holiday period, as indicated in
Tables 1-4.
