APPENDIX 2 - OVERALL PLAN
Noosa Waters Lock and Weir Maintenance Levy

1. Special Rate for the Maintenance of the Noosa Waters Lock and Weir
From July 2000, maintenance and operation of the Noosa Waters canal system became the
responsibility of the Noosa Shire Council. With the assistance of consulting engineers, Council has
undertaken long term projections in relation to operating and maintaining the lock and weir system
at an appropriate level of service and has developed a financial plan to fund this program.
2. The Rateable Land to Which the Special Charge Applies
Council has formed the opinion that waterfront allotments in the Noosa Waters estate, as
delineated in the map below, will gain special benefit from this program and has resolved to levy a
special rate to recover the cost.




3. The Service to be Provided
Noosa Shire Council will operate and maintain the Lock and Weir system at Noosa Waters during
the second half of the 2013/14 financial year, as part of an ongoing program to provide the
appropriate level of service.
4. The Estimated Cost of Implementing the Overall Plan
The levy will raise approximately $27,600 in the second half of the 2013/14 financial year. A special
annual rate of point zero one four seven (0.0147) cents per dollar rateable valuation will be levied
on each property within the benefited area, including strata titled units. However, in accordance
with Section 94 (10) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 Council has imposed a minimum
amount of the special rate. For the 2013/14 financial year the minimum is set at $60.00 per
property per annum.
5. Estimated Time for Implementing the Overall Plan
The Overall Plan provides for the costs associated with the maintenance of the Noosa Waters Lock
and Weir for the 2013/14 financial year.
