2015-01-15 Ordinary Meeting Agenda

ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                       15 JANUARY 2015


          choose to publicly notify a development application as early as 5 days after the
          development application is properly made. We believe submitters are better served
          under the current arrangement where public notification is able to occur following
          the information request period;
    G.    Noosa Council has long enjoyed a locally popular planning scheme that effectively
          controls development and sets key population targets that we believe best support
          public infrastructure and community wellbeing. We thus have concerns that the
          proposals may result in arbitrary changes to our planning scheme;
    H.    Noosa Council does not support proposed changes relating to Community
          Infrastructure designation that will remove local government powers to designate
          infrastructure. Nor do we support the proposal for the State Planning Minister to be
          the sole designating Minister for Infrastructure Designation in Queensland and to
          thus choose what developments can proceed, be they public or private
          infrastructure, and have them exempt from planning scheme requirements and from
          infrastructure charges; and
    I.    The maximum infrastructure charges prescribed by legislation remain unchanged
          since being introduced in 2011. Infrastructure charges have dropped in real terms
          due to indexation not being applied. This prohibits councils from making charges
          that reflect the actual current costs of building infrastructure. Thus the proportional
          costs of public infrastructure related to new development are being met by the
          community. Meanwhile the State Government adds 3.5% annual indexation to its
          own fees and charges. Noosa Council thus requests that annual automatic
          indexation of the current maximum capped charges be introduced to reflect
          increasing costs of providing infrastructure.
