          3.3     LEVIED CHARGE TAKEN TO BE A RATES
          A levied charge is, for the purpose of its recovery, taken to be rates of the local government that levied
          the charge.
          Within the meaning of the Local Government Act, this means:
          (1) an infrastructure charge may be recovered by court action for a debt;
          (2) an infrastructure charge may be recovered from the person for the time being owning the relevant land,
              regardless of who was the owner or other person upon whom the charges was imposed;
          (3) INTEREST IS PAYABLE on overdue payments; and
          (4) if charges are unpaid for 3 years, THE LAND CAN BE SOLD to recover the outstanding charges.


          3.4     INTEREST ON OVERDUE INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES
          Compound interest at the rate of 11% per annum calculated daily is payable on all overdue infrastructure
          charges outstanding after the due date for payment as applying to the infrastructure charges notice.


          3.5     GOODS AND SERVICES TAX
          The federal government has determined that rates and utility charges levied by local government will be
          GST free. Accordingly, no GST is included in this infrastructure charges notice.


          3.6 USE OF INFRASTRUCTUE CHARGES COLLECTED
          Under the planning legislation, a levied charge paid to a local government must be used to provide trunk
          infrastructure. Council’s planning scheme identifies trunk infrastructure in Schedule 9.2-Schedule of Works
          of its Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP). https://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/view-the-noosa-plan
