Hi Patrick 

 

I hope you’re have a good week.  I’m hoping that you can assist me in relation to fee advices received from Council in relation to a recently submitted development application over 11 Leo Alley Rd, Noosaville.   The submitted application is for a Material Change of Use of Premises for Low Impact Industry and Warehouse (21 x units) and associated Operational Works).  The application was submitted by our office on 13 November 2020, following which we received the below payment link from Council (received on 16 November 2020).   Upon receipt of the payment advice, we were a little surprised to see that the application fees had been calculated at the full rate for both ‘warehouse’ and ‘low impact industry’ for all 21 units.  Whilst the application does seek approval for both land uses, we note that the purpose of the application is to afford flexibility for the end user / purchaser of the units.  To this end, the individual units will operate as one of the defined uses and not both.  

 

It is considered the applied fee as calculated is excessive in light of the assessment ultimately required by Council officers for the application and given the following key considerations:

 

*	In accordance with Council’s Fees and Charges 2020-21, the same development assessment fee applies for both land uses, being $5,914.00 (up to 800sqm TUA) plus $6.00 per sqm TUA thereafter;
*	In accordance with Council’s Charges Resolution (No.5.1) 2020, the same chargeable rate applies for both land uses for square metre GFA and for square metre impervious to stormwater;
*	In accordance with the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020, the same assessable development codes, being the Noosaville local plan code, Medium impact industry zone code, Industry activities code and Works code apply to both defined land uses.  We further note that there are no specific provisions within these codes relevant to one use or the other and they apply identically to both land uses. 
*	An almost identical proposal (albeit under the new Noosa Plan 2020 reflective of the current land use definitions) has previously been approved over the subject site. The assessment provisions already assessed by Council for a very similar development under the Noosa Plan 2006 are not too dissimilar to the current provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020.  

 

In light of the above we request Council’s consideration of a fee reduction for the Material Change of Use component of the development application to reflect the fee applicable for one land use only for the 21 units. We contend that this is appropriate in the circumstances, and calculate the fee to be $17,914.00 (plus the applicable $5,994.00 for the Operational works component). We are struggling to understand how the payment link provided by Council below can reasonably apply the quoted assessment fee for the Material Change of Use component of $35,828.00, particularly in light of the cost recovery approach of Council development assessment fees under the Local Government Act 2009.

 

We would appreciate your consideration of this request and subsequent response to this matter at your earliest convenience to progress the application. 

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss further. 

 

Kind regards 

 

Ella King
