APPENDIX 5: NOOSA MAIN BEACH LEVY
OVERALL PLAN


1.    Special Rate for the Maintenance of the Noosa Heads Main Beach
Following discussion with the Hastings Street Association Inc., Council has agreed to continue the
ongoing restoration and maintenance program for the Noosa Heads Main Beach throughout the
2024/25 financial year. These activities 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 6A)
b)    30% by way of a special rate levied on benefited properties in the surrounding areas (as
      delineated on map 6B, 6C & 6D)


2.    The Rateable Land to Which the Special Rate Applies
Land within the Hastings Street precinct as delineated on map 6A, which will be specially benefited
by the delivery of an ongoing program of sand replenishment and maintenance at the Noosa Heads
Main Beach.
The rate will also be levied on properties in the surrounding areas as delineated on maps 6B, 6C
and 6D 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 that properties within the area delineated on map 6A, from the
on-going sand replenishment and maintenance works at the Noosa Heads Main Beach as this beach
is a primary asset of the tourism industry in Noosa.
