  6.    Three-Year Maintenance Agreements
  This funding will provide financial support up to three years to eligible not for profit community
  organisations that maintain Council and community infrastructure. There are two categories:
  e Maintenance and management of community halls or centres. Eligible community organisations
     may receive part funding for on-going operational and/or maintenance purposes of Council
     infrastructure only where that infrastructure is publicly accessible.
  e  Sports field maintenance. Eligible sporting organisations may receive part funding for on-going
     maintenance of sporting fields. The organisations must have primary responsibility for fields that
     are open to the public when not being used by those organisations.

  Three-Year Maintenance Agreements operate by invitation-only rather than through a competitive
  process. Recipients will be required to provide an annual acquittal and demonstrating delivery of
  agreed outcomes. If Council decides to continue with the program, renewal of agreements will be
  negotiated three months prior to their expiry. Council will establish funding amounts for the individual
  Three-Year Maintenance Agreements as part of its annual budget process.
   Recipients of Three-Year Maintenance Agreements are ineligible for Three Year Community Alliance
  Agreements and Three Year Signature Community Event Grants.

  7.    Water Rebates
  Council will fund Unitywater fixed water and sewerage access charges for eligible not for profit
  organisations as defined in this Policy. The maximum annual funding for each organisation will be
  limited to the minimum water and sewerage access charges (based up to and including 25mm
  meters) for each land parcel unless there is a legal requirement or hydrology report that requires the
  organisation to have a larger water meter or additional meters.
   In addition Council will fund the annual water consumption charges of all eligible not for profit
  organisations up to a maximum of $1,000 per annum, however, organisations with consumption
  charges over $250 per annum will be required to have a Council approved water management plan
  in place.
  The cost of the water rebate will be identified and funded through the Community Grants Program
  as it forms part of Council’s support to community organisations.

  8.    Building Insurance Cover
  Council will cover the cost of building insurance for eligible not for profit community organisations
  (as defined in this policy) with facilities built on Council owned or controlled land. The insurance
  provided by Council will be incorporated into Council’s Local Government Mutual (LGM) Asset
  Scheme Industrial Special Risks coverage. The cover will only be provided on the terms offered by
  the LGM to Noosa Council and is not negotiable for individual groups.
  The cost of this insurance will be identified and funded through the Community Grants Program as
  it forms part of Councils support to community organisations. Council may require community groups
  covered by this scheme to meet excess charges in the event of any claim.

                                                                                           Page 5
