In this regard, it is our opinion that the Council fee is excessive when considering the requirements for cost
recovery as discussed above.
We request Council to consider a fee of $4,660.25 which is 75% of the Code Assessable fee for a Food & Drink
Outlet Use, including the discount applied for MCU applications within an existing building. Noting that this
application has been previously before Council numerous times (MCU applications, Food Business Licencing),
and has been granted a Temporary Use Permit, and as such staff are well-informed of the operation at
Bounce Noosa.
We look forward to Council processing the application at its earliest convenience. Should you require any
additional information or have any queries please to not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards,
