EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Infrastructure Assessment Coordinator to the Special Meeting
dated 16 July 2020 and
A.    Adopt the “Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.5) 2020” provided at Attachment 1
      to the report, to take effect and replace the “Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.4)
      2019” on the day the new planning scheme takes effect, and
B.    Authorise the CEO to make minor changes to the Noosa Shire Charges Resolution (No. 5)
      2020 prior to the date it takes effect.

REPORT
Council issues infrastructure charges on development under its “Charges Resolution” to help fund
provision of “trunk” infrastructure identified in its Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP).

Infrastructure charges are applied according to development uses contained in local government
planning schemes and limited to Schedule 16 Prescribed (maximum) amounts under the Planning
Regulation 2017.

Council’s Charges Resolution will require amendment to incorporate the development uses
contained in Council’s new planning scheme “Noosa Plan 2020” (when it commences) as well as
the current Noosa Plan 2006 (which continues as a superseded planning scheme for a period of 1
year).

It is recommended that Council’s current “Charges Resolution (No.4) 2019” be amended and
replaced with the “Charges Resolution (No.5) 2020” provided as Attachment 1 to this report when
the new planning scheme commences to take effect.
