Infrastructure Charge - MCU22/0082 & OPW22/0134

               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

          5.        RIGHTS OF APPEAL

            Prior to making an appeal about an infrastructure charge notice, the recipient must first suspend the
            appeal period and make written representations to Council about the infrastructure charges notice in
            accordance with the planning legislation. Full particulars with supporting documentation must be provided
            by the recipient to enable Council’s assessment of the representation to occur.
            If Council agrees or agrees in part with the representations, a Negotiated/Amended Infrastructure
            Charges Notice will be issued accordingly with details of Council’s decision.

            If Council does not agree with the representations, the Infrastructure Charges Notice issued remains
            unchanged and details of Council’s decision will be provided.

            The appeal period for the infrastructure charges notice starts again when Council gives the decision notice
            about the representations to the recipient.
            The applicant may appeal against Council’s decision on representations and a copy of the relevant appeal
            provisions from the Planning Act 2016 is provided on the following page.
