Revenue Statement - 2018/19


APPENDIX 4: NOOSA JUNCTION LEVY
OVERALL PLAN

1.    Special Levy for the Development of a Commercial Strategy for Noosa Junction.
Following requests from the Noosa Junction Traders Association and Noosa Junction property
owners in 2007, the former Noosa Council agreed to engage consultants to undertake a study and
develop a Commercial Strategy for Noosa Junction in 2008. During the 2008/09 financial year the
Noosa Junction Traders Association requested the Sunshine Coast Regional Council to begin
implementation of the recommendations of the Noosa Junction Commercial and Economic Planning
Strategy (NJCEPS) and this has continued over subsequent years.
Council has received a further request from the Association to continue to fund projects and
initiatives that will be implemented in 2018/19 to advance the recommendations of the Noosa
Junction Commercial and Economic Planning Strategy.

2.    The Rateable Land to Which the Special Rates Applies
Properties subject to the special rate fall within the area delineated on the map below.




3.    Service, facility or Activity
The Noosa Junction Association will, in consultation with Council, implement projects and initiatives
as set out in the 2018/19 Work Plan including recommendations of the Noosa Junction Commercial
and Economic Planning Strategy. Council will provide levy funding to the Noosa Junction Association
for that Association to implement those projects and initiatives on the basis that the Noosa Junction
Association satisfies Council that is has in place the appropriate governance arrangements and that
the 2018/19 Work Plan has been approved by Council before any levy funds are transferred to and
expended by the Noosa Junction Association.

4.    The Estimated Cost of Implementing the Overall Plan
The levy will raise $91,000 in the 2018/19 financial year. This amount will be insufficient to implement
all the recommendations of the NJCEPS so the Noosa Junction Traders Association will seek to
raise funds from other sources including membership fees.

5.    Estimated Time for Implementing the Overall Plan
The estimated time for carrying out the overall plan is by 30 June 2019. It is anticipated that a levy
will be made in future years as the service, facility and activities are on-going programs.
