     Committee Resolution

     Moved:            Cr Playford
     Seconded:         Cr Wellington

     That the Planning & Organisation Committee appoint Cr Frank Wilkie as the Chair of that

                                                                                        Carried.

2    ADOPTED INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES RESOLUTION
     That Council note the report by the Priority Infrastructure Planning and Infrastructure
     Charges Officer to the Planning & Organisation Committee dated 28 January 2014 and:
     1.   Adopt the “Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1)
          2014” (provided at Attachment 1 to the report) to replace the “Sunshine Coast
          Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.4) 2011” applying to
          development governed by The Noosa Plan;
     2.   Publicly notify the adoption of the “Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure
          Charges Resolution (No.1) 2014” and forward a copy to the Chief Executive,
          Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning in accordance with
          section 648D of the “Sustainable Planning Act 2009”;
     3.   Adopt Noosa Council policy positions regarding Extensions to Relevant Periods
          (through infrastructure agreements) and/or subsequent Infrastructure Charge Notices
          triggered by Building Permits, to charge development for all networks, including those
          previously missing where:
          a)     missing networks are to be charged at the current Adopted Infrastructure
                 Charges; and
          b)     the missing network charge is limited so that it does not cause the total amount
                 payable for the development to exceed the total maximum adopted charge
                 permissible under the “Statutory Planning Regulatory Provision (adopted
                 charges)”.
     4.   For development requesting to transfer to an alternative infrastructure charges
          regime to that previously applied under an existing development approval, Council:
          a)     require a new development application to be lodged; and
          b)     offer a 50% reduction to the application fee for these new development
                 applications, provided there is no change to the development previously
                 approved and no additional assessment is required to that previously
                 undertaken under The Noosa Plan; and
          c)     request the applicant to cancel their previous development approval under
                 sections 379 and 380 of the “Sustainable Planning Act 2009” at no cost to the
                 applicant, once a dew development approval takes effect.
     5.   Note the State Government’s review of the current Adopted Infrastructure Charges
          regime is likely to impact the level of infrastructure charges that can be levied on
          future development and priority infrastructure planning requirements. A further report
          will be provided to Council once the outcome is known.
