ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON
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. DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT, DECISION AND REASONS FOR ISSUING CHARGE
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 (Refer to the
"Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution” under which the infrastructure charge was issued);
(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.
The triggers for issuing infrastructure charges are generally triggered by the issue of a development permit
for either:
(1) Reconfiguration of a lot; or
(2) Material Change of Use of Premises; or
(3) Building Works; or
(4) Other development.
Infrastructure charges are not imposed by condition on a development permit - they are an action that follows
the issue of a permit. So consequently, charges may be imposed in cases where a development permit for a lot
reconfiguration or material change of use of premises has previously been granted, but a development permit
for building works is yet to 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”.
The Infrastructure Charges Notice includes “Special Notes” (if applicable) on page 2 and together with the
infrastructure charge calculation on page 3, provides full and factual details to enable the applicant to review
and if required, for making a submission to Council on the infrastructure charge issued in relation to any of
the following:

1. the types and quantities of uses approved by the development permit for the site which may relate to:
a. the total development of the site; or alternatively,
b. just the additional development to that existing on the site.
2. the types and quantities of existing or previously existing “lawful” uses to be used as existing credits
in calculations relating to the total development of the site (applying to calculations under 1. a. above);
3. offsets for “trunk” infrastructure that is contained in a development permit condition to be provided
by the development for crediting against the infrastructure charge calculation (if applicable); and
4. any other mitigating items (if applicable) that impact the net infrastructure charge amount payable.
Should the applicant believe these details to be incorrect or an omission exists, the applicant may make
representation/s to Council on the Infrastructure Charges Notice providing full supporting particulars with
documentation to enable review of the additional information to be conducted. Where representations are
agreed and verified as being correct, the representation/s will form the basis for a negotiated/amended
infrastructure charges notice to be issued as applicable.
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
