APPENDIX 4: HASTINGS STREET PRECINCT LEVY
OVERALL PLAN


1.    Special Rate for the Provision of Additional Services to the Hastings Street Precinct
In response to requests from the Hastings Street Association Inc., Council has agreed to provide
additional services above the standard level applied throughout the local government area with the
understanding that this increased level of service will be funded by a special levy as follows:
a)    70% by way of a special rate levied on benefited properties within the Hastings Street precinct
      (as delineated on map 5A)
b)    30% by way of a special rate levied on benefited properties in the surrounding areas (as
      delineated on map 5B, 5C & 5D)


2.    The Rateable Land to Which the Special Rate Applies
Land within the Hastings Street precinct as delineated on map 5A, which will be specially benefited
by providing additional services in the Hastings Street precinct.
The rate will also be levied on properties in the surrounding areas as delineated on maps 5B, 5C
and 5D that gain benefit from tourist visitation (i.e. occupiers of properties used for commercial and
industrial purposes, and transitory accommodation). It is noted that properties in the surrounding
areas benefit, albeit to a lesser extent than properties within the area delineated on map 5A, from
the provision of additional services in the Hastings Street precinct given that it is a primary asset of
the tourism industry in Noosa.
