RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Development Assessment to the Special Meeting
dated 16 July 2020 regarding the Fees and Charges 2020-21 for the new Planning Scheme –
Noosa Plan 2020.
A.       Agree to adopt the proposed fees and charges for Material Change of Use applications
         lodged under the new Planning Scheme as set out in Attachment 2 to this report;
B.       Continue to apply the current fees and charges 2020-21 for all other matters lodged under
         the new Planning Scheme; and
C.       Note that Superseded Planning Scheme requests are currently delegated to officers to
         decide due to the legislative time frames.



REPORT
Fees and Charges for new Planning Scheme – Noosa Plan 2020
Under the Planning Act 2016 a development application must be –
(a)   made in the approved form to the assessment manager; and
(b)   accompanied by –
      (i)    The documents required under the form to be attached to, or given with, the application;
             and
      (ii)   The required fee.
While Council sets its fees and charges for planning and development matters each financial year,
the new Planning Scheme for Noosa Shire will commence shortly. It is therefore necessary for
Council by resolution to set fees and charges for the new Planning Scheme for 2020-21.
Attachment 1 includes a copy of the current fees and charges for 2020-21 for Council’s reference
and Attachment 2 includes the proposed fees for 2020-21 for the new Planning Scheme.
The proposed fees and charges for the new Planning Scheme have been aligned where practical
with the current fees and charges to achieve consistency between the fees and charges for each
scheme. This means for example that an application for a shop under the current Noosa Plan and
an application for a Shop under the new Noosa Plan 2020 will be the same. For new land uses
identified under the new Noosa Plan 2020, such as short term accommodation a new fee is
proposed.
