               DECISION NOTICE ABOUT THE DECISION TO GIVE
                   AN INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES NOTICE
          1.      PRELIMINARY

          Infrastructure charges are triggered and issued on development approvals as a contribution towards the cost
          of "trunk" infrastructure provided to service development and are governed by “Charges Resolutions” adopted
          by local government in accordance with the planning legislation and regulations current at the time of issue.
          Infrastructure Charges Notices are issued separately by both Council and Unitywater relating to their
          specified “Trunk” infrastructure networks.


          2.      THE DECISION AND REASONS FOR IT

          The planning legislation provides for the following:
             a) authorises local governments to do either or both of the following for development approvals in relation
                to trunk infrastructure—
                 (i) adopt, by resolution, charges for development infrastructure and levy the charges;
                (ii) impose particular conditions about development infrastructure; and
             b) authorises local governments, for non-trunk infrastructure, to impose particular conditions about
                development infrastructure; and
             c) provides for a regulation to govern local government adopted charges and charges by distributor-
                retailers under the SEQ Water Act for trunk infrastructure.
          On 6 February 2014, Noosa Council adopted the "Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges
          Resolution (No.1) 2014" to replace the "Sunshine Coast Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges
          Resolution (No.4) 2011" that translated across to Noosa Council on 1 January 2014. The resolution has effect
          on development approvals and charge notices issued from 6th February 2014 to 15 February 2015 in
          accordance with the legislation current at the time of issue.
          On 12 February 2015, Noosa Council adopted the "Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014" to
          replace the "Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2014" to include legislative
          amendments that commenced on 4 June 2014. The resolution has effect on development approvals and charge
          notices issued from 16th February 2015 to 27 October 2016 in accordance with the legislation current at
          the time of issue.
          On 20 October 2016, Noosa Council adopted the "Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014
          (Amendment 1)" to reflect adopted amendments made to the planning scheme. The resolution has effect on
          development approvals and charge notices issued from 28th October 2016 in accordance with the planning
          legislation current at the time of issue.
          On 20 September 2018, Noosa Council adopted the "Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.3) 2018"
          replacing the "Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014 (Amendment 1)" to reflect the current
          planning legislation, regulation and LGIP. The resolution has effect on development approvals and charge
          notices issued from 24th September 2018 in accordance with the planning legislation current at the time of
          issue.
          Council’s decision and reason/s for issuing the infrastructure charge is because the development results in an
          increase in the type/s and/or quantity in use/s on the site and therefore places additional demand on
          infrastructure. The determination of additional demand on infrastructure correlates directly to the
          infrastructure charge calculation undertaken in accordance with Council’s Charges Resolution and the planning
          legislation. Refer also to Queensland State Government Fact Sheet: “Local government infrastructure
          framework, Calculating additional demand and existing use credits”.
