Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 28 August 2014, Item 2, Page 6
That Council note the report by the Priority Infrastructure Planning and Infrastructure Charges Officer
to the Planning & Organisation Committee dated 28 January 2014 and:
1.    Adopt the “Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2014”
      (provided at Attachment 1 to the report) to replace the “Sunshine Coast Regional Council
      Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.4) 2011” applying to development governed
      by The Noosa Plan;
2.    Publicly notify the adoption of the “Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges
      Resolution (No.1) 2014” and forward a copy to the Chief Executive, Department of State
      Development, Infrastructure and Planning in accordance with section 648D of the
      “Sustainable Planning Act 2009”;
3.    Adopt Noosa Council policy positions regarding Extensions to Relevant Periods (through
      infrastructure agreements) and/or subsequent Infrastructure Charge Notices triggered by
      Building Permits, to charge development for all networks, including those previously missing
      where:
      a)    missing networks are to be charged at the current Adopted Infrastructure Charges; and
      b)    the missing network charge is limited so that it does not cause the total amount
            payable for the development to exceed the total maximum adopted charge
            permissible under the “Statutory Planning Regulatory Provision (adopted charges)”.
4.    For development requesting to transfer to an alternative infrastructure charges regime to that
      previously applied under an existing development approval, Council:
      a)    require a new development application to be lodged; and
      b)    offer a 50% reduction to the application fee for these new development applications,
            provided there is no change to the development previously approved and no additional
            assessment is required to that previously undertaken under The Noosa Plan; and
      c)    request the applicant to cancel their previous development approval under sections 379
            and 380 of the “Sustainable Planning Act 2009” at no cost to the applicant, once a dew
            development approval takes effect.
5.    Note the State Government’s review of the current Adopted Infrastructure Charges regime is
      likely to impact the level of infrastructure charges that can be levied on future development and
      priority infrastructure planning requirements. A further report will be provided to Council once
      the outcome is known.
