Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) under The Noosa Plan 2006 and approve:
A.   The methodology used to determine existing trunk infrastructure network items from
     Council’s Geographic Information System (GIS) and current replacement costs obtained
     from Council’s Financial Asset Register;
B.   The Generic Land Valuation prepared by CBRE Valuations Pty Limited dated
     February2012 provided in Attachment 1 to the report and indexed to the LGIP June 2014
     base date as the basis for applying a uniform generic land cost in the Schedule of Works
     Model (SOW) for all existing and future land;
C.   A minor amendment to the Schedule of Works (SOW) future items for the Public Parks&
     Land for Community Facilities Network provided in Attachment 2 to the report noting that
     the cost estimates will be refined following completion of the excel SOW Model;
D.   The LGIP Briefing Note provided in Attachment 3 to the report providing the basis for the
     Infrastructure Network Demand Assumptions and Conversions; and
E.   Note that following completion of the SOW model, draft LGIP and Independent Reviewer’s
     first review, a further report on the complete draft LGIP will be presented for Council’s
     consideration and adoption to proceed to the Minister’s first State review.


Finance & Risk
Council needs to have amended its current Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) to a Local
Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) by 30 June 2018 in order to continue issuing
infrastructure charges and impose conditions about trunk infrastructure on development.
Since January 2014 to September 2017, $8,779,704 has been collected in infrastructure charges
equating to a current average of $195,105 per month or $2,341,254 per annum. The 2017/2018
budget has conservatively estimated the infrastructure charges revenue at $1,867,359.
A long term risk of LGIPs is the commitment ultimately made to provide future infrastructure at
the desired standards of service to meet development growth.
