Development & Planning Fees and Charges
Payment of Fees and Lodgement of Applications

The required fee should accompany the application unless it is clearly subject to a concession as set out below. Applications not
accompanied by the required fees will be considered "not properly made" and Council will notify the applicant advising of the relevant
fee to be paid.

Applications that are accompanied by cheques or paid by credit card may be mailed to:

Noosa Council
PO Box 141
Tewantin Qld 4565

Subsidy For Community, Sporting and Religious Organisations

Council's policy for waiver of fees for non-profit community organisations recognises the importance of the community facilities which
are provided and maintained by non-profit organisations for the benefit of the wider community.

Council seeks to provide financial assistance to these organisations on a "needs" basis. Any non-profit, volunteer, charitable,
community, sporting, religious organisation not in possession of a permanent liquor or gaming licence is eligible for a 50% reduction in
development application fees (including any prelodgement meetings).

A request for a reduction in application fees should be made in writing and accompany the application. The request must demonstrate
the eligibility of the applicant as a community, sporting or religious organisation. At the time of lodgement of the application, the
organisation must provide verifiable written proof that the organisation is either registered with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as
a charitable / non profit organisation, or alternatively registered with the Office of Fair Trading under either the Associations
Incorporation Act or Corporations Act.

Waiver of Development Application Charges

The Director Development and Regulation has delegated authority to determine to partially or wholly waive a Development Application
Fee where strict application of the scheduled fee is obviously unreasonable for the type of application being received.

Refunds

If a request/application is withdrawn/lapses before it is decided by Council, a refund will be given depending on the processing stage at
the time of withdrawal as follows:

90% Application Stage
80% Application Stage (After Confirmation Notice has been issued)
60% Information and Referral Stage
30% Notification Stage
10% Decision Stage

No refund is applicable once a decision has been issued by the Council.

Where a request/application for any matter is withdrawn, an administration fee will also be retained.

Calculating Application Fees

For developments that are identified as impact assessable and inconsistent under The Noosa Plan a fee multiplier of 3 will apply to the
required fee. Where the use and/or works (or part thereof) have been carried out without Council approval a fee multiplier of 2 will apply
to the required fee.

For developments that are non-compliant with a scheme provision that is measurable such as site cover, gross floor area/plot ratio,
height in storeys/metres, and car parking number etc a fee multiplier of 1.5 will apply to the required fee, with detached houses only
charged where there are multiple non-compliances (i.e. more than 1). A separate fee applies for consideration of setback matters
(alternative siting provisions).

Request for an Application to be considered under a Superseded Planning Scheme

A request for an application to be considered under the Superseded Planning Scheme is to be accompanied by the base fee plus the
required fee.

Preliminary Approvals

Applications for a variation request as per the Planning Act 2016 shall be 125% of the fees for the applicable uses or types of
development (included predicted Reconfiguring of Lot) as for a development permit.
