PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                             09 AUGUST 2022

                                                           25
                                                   Noosa Shire Council
                                               Charges Resolution (No.7) 2022

                                     Council and the applicant to determine the estimate. The cost of this
                                     independent assessment is to be equally shared between the local
                                     authority and the applicant and the amended cost estimate determined
                                     by the independent assessor becomes the establishment cost of the
                                     infrastructure.

                                     However, if the Council and the applicant cannot reach agreement on
                                     the appointment of an independent assessor, the establishment cost of
                                     the infrastructure is determined by calculating the average of the
                                     previous two cost estimates prepared on behalf of the applicant and the
                                     Council respectively.

                    (2)      Where a notice is given by an applicant under s. 137 of the Planning Act
                            requesting a recalculation of the establishment cost for the trunk infrastructure
                            that is land, the recalculated amount shall be the value estimated for the land
                            based on the pre-approved and pre-developed state of the land as follows:

                             a)      The applicant, at their own cost, must provide to the Council a valuation
                                     of the specified land undertaken by a certified practicing valuer. If the
                                     Council accepts the valuation, the valuation is the establishment cost of
                                     the infrastructure.

                             (b)     If the Council does not agree with the applicant’s valuation, the Council
                                     will provide its own alternative valuation to the applicant. If the applicant
                                     agrees with the Council’s alternative Pre-Market Estimate, it becomes
                                     the establishment cost of the infrastructure.

                             (c)     If agreement cannot be reached on the valuation, an independent
                                     assessor is to be appointed by agreement between the Council and the
                                     applicant to determine the estimate. The cost of this independent
                                     assessment is to be equally shared between the local authority and the
                                     applicant and the amended valuation estimate determined by the
                                     independent    assessor   becomes    the  establishment   cost  of  the
                                     infrastructure.

                                     However, if the Council and the applicant cannot reach agreement on
                                     the appointment of an independent assessor, the establishment cost of
                                     the infrastructure is determined by calculating the average of the
                                     previous two valuation estimates prepared on behalf of the applicant and
                                     the Council respectively.

              12.      Refund of an unused infrastructure offset

           12.1     Purpose
                    Section 12 states the Council's policy for a refund of an unused infrastructure offset for
                    provision of trunk infrastructure.

                                          Council Resolution effective 19 August 2022

                                                                                               Page 84 of 103
