POLICY BACKGROUND

Council is required to prepare and adopt a Revenue Policy in accordance with Section 193 of the
Local Government Regulation 2012. The purpose of this Revenue Policy is to set out the
principles used by Council for:

     the levying of rates and charges; and
     granting concessions for rates and charges; and
     the recovery of overdue rates and charges; and
     cost-recovery methods.

The Revenue Policy applies to all areas identified in Section 193 of the Local Government
Regulation 2012, and will be used to guide Council in the development of the Revenue Statement
for the 2014/15 financial year.


COUNCIL POLICY

The Revenue Policy must be reviewed annually and in sufficient time to allow an annual budget
that is consistent with the Revenue Policy to be adopted for the next financial year. Accordingly,
the principles contained within the Revenue Policy are applied in the determination of the rates,
fees and charges as detailed in the Revenue Statement.

Council levies rates and charges to fund the provision of valuable services to our community.
When adopting its annual budget Council will set rates and charges at a level that will provide for
both current and future community requirements. Council will apply the principle of transparency in
making rates and charges.

General Rates

General Rate revenue provides essential whole of community services not funded through
subsidies, grants, contributions or donations received from other entities, or not provided for by
other levies or charges. Council will consider all full cost recovery options before calculating the
general rate.

Council is required to raise an amount of revenue it sees as being appropriate to maintain and
replace assets and provide services to the region as a whole. In deciding how that revenue is
raised, Council has formed the opinion that a differential general rating scheme based primarily on
land use, provides the most equitable basis for the distribution of the general rate burden.



                                                                                           Page 6

Section 7

STRATEGIC POLICY – REVENUE POLICY


The rateable value for each property is the basis for determining the amount of the general rate
levied. Council recognises that significant valuation fluctuations may have an adverse effect on
pensioners, therefore Council has implemented a Deferment of General Rates Policy to provide
eligible pensioners with the opportunity to apply for a deferment of general rates.

Special and Separate Rates and Charges

Where appropriate council will fund certain services, facilities or activities by means of separate or
special rates or charges.

In accordance with Section 94 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 Council will levy special
rates and charges on certain properties that are considered to be specially benefited by the
provision of a specific service, facility or activity.

Special rates are based on the rateable value of the land and special charges are a flat charge per
property, where this is considered to provide a more equitable basis for the sharing of the cost.

In accordance with Section 103 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 Council will levy a
separate rate or charge on all rateable land in the region to fund a particular service, facility or
activity where council believes that the service, facility or activity is key in achieving Council’s
vision for the region.

Other Charges

In general, Council will be guided by the principle of user pays in making all other charges.

The Levying of Rates and Charges

In levying rates and charges, Council will apply the principles of:
 consistency by scheduling the issue of rate notices on a half yearly basis;
 communication by advising ratepayers about rate notice issue dates and discount dates;
 clarity by providing meaningful information on rate notices to enable ratepayers to clearly
     understand their responsibilities; and
 flexibility by providing payment arrangements to ratepayers in financial difficulty, along with a
     wide array of payment options.

In making and levying rates and charges, council will be guided by the principles of:
 equitable distribution of the general rates burden as broadly as possible;
 transparency in the making and levying of rates;
 flexibility, to take account of changes in the local economy;
 clarity in terms of responsibilities (Council’s and ratepayers’) in regard to the rating process;
 National Competition Policy legislation where applicable; and
 having in place a rating regime that is efficient to administer.


The Purpose of and Granting of Concessions for Rates and Charges

Council has determined that pensioners as defined by the Local Government Regulation 2012 are
entitled to receive concessions on rates and various other services that Council provides to the
community. Council may grant a concession for land that is owned by a pensioner under Section
120(1) (a) of the Local Government Regulation 2012. The purpose of the concessions for
pensioners is to assist pensioner property owners to remain in their own home by reducing the
financial impact of rates and charges.




                                                                                                Page 7

Section 8

STRATEGIC POLICY – REVENUE POLICY


In accordance with Section 120(1) (b) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 other charitable
organisations, community groups, and sporting associations may also be entitled to concessions.

The purpose of these concessions is to encourage and support charitable organisations,
community groups, and sporting associations as they contribute to the health and well-being of the
community and the social cohesion of the region.

In exercising these concession powers Council will be guided by the principles of:
 transparency by making clear the requirements necessary to receive concessions; and
 communication by raising the awareness of target groups that may qualify for these
    concessions; and;
 equity by ensuring that all applicants of the same type receive the same concession.

The Recovery of Rates and Charges

Council will exercise its rate recovery powers pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 4 Part 12 of the
Local Government Regulation 2012 in order to maintain a strong financial position through
adequate cash flows and to reduce the overall rate burden on ratepayers, and will be guided by the
principles of:
 equity by treating all ratepayers in similar circumstances in the same manner and by having
    regard to their capacity to pay;
 transparency by making clear the obligations of ratepayers and the processes used by Council
    in assisting them to meet their financial obligations; and
 flexibility by accommodating ratepayers’ needs through short-term payment arrangements.

Cost Recovery Fees

All fees and charges will be set with reference to full cost pricing. Cost recovery fees will be
charged up to a maximum of full cost. Commercial charges will be at commercial rates.

New Development Costs

Developer contributions for infrastructure are determined each year in accordance with the
philosophy that a developer should pay reasonable and relevant contributions towards the capital
cost of the provision of infrastructure to meet past and future augmentation costs associated with
this new development, subject to State Government requirements. Infrastructure agreements are
negotiated outcomes between Council and the developer.


ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

All Council staff are bound by the principles outlined in this policy in determining the level of rates,
fees and charges, and in the application of concessions relating to those rates, fees and charges.

2.2      Adjustment of Rates and Charges
Supplementary rates notices for variations in rates and charges may be issued as required during
the financial year. It is the owner’s responsibility to check that all rates and charges are correct at
the time of the issue of the rate notice. Adjustments to rates and charges levied in prior financial
years will only be done in exceptional circumstances. Adjustment for rates and charges levied in
prior financial years will not be made where:
(a) a property has been categorised in Differential General Rate Categories 16,17,18,19, 27 or
       29 (i.e. not principal place of residence) and the owner/s have not provided a declaration that
       the property is his / her / their principal place of residence per section 3.2.3 of this revenue
       statement.
(b) a property has been categorised as Transitory Accommodation – Urban or Transitory
       Accommodation – Rural for the purposes of levying the Tourism Levy and the owner/s have
       not provided a Tourism Levy declaration form advising Council that the property is not
       offered for short term residential rental.
2.3      Early Payment Discount
Discounts for prompt payments shall be allowed on the rates and charges stipulated in Council's
revenue statement as having discount applying to them. Such discounts are allowed pursuant to
Section 130 of the Local Government Regulation 2012.
2.3.1    Method of Calculation
Subject to section 2.3.2 of this revenue statement the following discount will be allowed on general
rates where the net amount shown on the rate notice is paid by the designated due date:
5% of the general rate; or
$200.00 per annum (i.e. $100.00 for each half yearly rate period)
whichever is the lesser amount.
In the case of pensioners complying with the eligibility criteria contained in the Queensland
Government’s Rate Subsidy Scheme and Retirement Villages as per differential general rate
category 23, the half yearly discount offered will be 5% of the general rates. No maximum will
apply.

     Interest charges on overdue rates
     Any other rate, charge or amount unless a discount is specifically permitted by this revenue
      statement.

Section 15

Noosa Shire Council Revenue Statement


2.3.2   Payments Made Before the Due Date
A discount shall be allowed where full payment of the current period rates and charges, plus any
overdue rates and charges and interest thereon, is received before the first working day following
the due date. This shall apply to all payments made at a Council office, an approved agency, or by
electronic means. For payments made through an approved agent or by electronic means the
payment is deemed to be received on the transaction date provided by the approved agent or
relevant financial institution.
2.3.3 Allowance of Early Payment Discount for Late Payments
There are occasions when payment by the due date is not achieved through circumstances
beyond the control of the ratepayer and the Section 130(10) of the Local Government Regulation
2012 provides Council with a discretionary power to allow discount in such circumstances.
2.3.3.1 Payments Made after the Due Date
Discount will be allowed if the full payment of the overdue rates and charges is made within a
period specified by Council AND the applicant provides proof satisfactory to Council of any of the
following:
   Illness involving hospitalisation and/ or incapacitation of the ratepayer at or around the due
    date for payment
   The death or major trauma (accident/ life threatening illness/ emergency operation) of the
    ratepayer and/ or associated persons (Spouse/ Children/ Parents) at or around the due date
    for payment
   The loss of records resulting from factors beyond the ratepayer’s control (Fire/ Flood etc.)
and Council is satisfied that the event was the cause of the ratepayer’s failure to make full payment
by the due date.
2.3.3.2 Late Payments Due to Delivery Difficulties
Discount will be allowed following the non-receipt of the rates notice by the ratepayer or the non-
receipt or late receipt of the rates payment by Council where the reason for such non-receipt or
late receipt is separately substantiated by:
    a written statement from the ratepayer detailing non receipt of the rates notice provided
     discount has not been allowed on a previous late payment in similar circumstances in the last
     five (5) years; or
    other evidence that payment of the rates was made by the ratepayer at the time, but did not
     reach Council due to circumstances beyond the control of the ratepayer; or
    where an administrative error occurred at the Department of Natural Resources and Mines
     which resulted in the rates notice being incorrectly addressed by Council.
Discount may also be allowed if substantiated by evidence that the return of the rate notice to
Council although correctly addressed is through no fault or instigation of the ratepayer and beyond
the ratepayer’s reasonable control.
Discount will NOT be allowed if the circumstances above are:
   as a result of the failure of the ratepayer to ensure that Council was given correct notification of
    the postal address for service of notices prior to the issue of the rate notices; or
   as a result of the failure of the ratepayer to ensure that Council was given the correct
    notification of the email address for service of the notices prior to the issue of the rate notices
    where the option for delivery by electronic means has been selected; or
   as a result of a change of ownership, where Council received notification of the change of
    ownership after the issue of the rates notice.
2.3.3.3 Administrative Errors
An extended discount period will be allowed if Council has failed to correctly issue the rates notice
in sufficient time to permit the ratepayer to make payment before the expiration of the discount
period. The extended discount period will be equivalent to that period provided to other ratepayers
and will commence from the date Council specifies.




Revenue Statement Page 6                                                                      Page 15

Section 16

Noosa Shire Council Revenue Statement


2.3.3.4 Payment Errors
Where there is an apparent accidental short payment of the rates resulting from a miscalculation of
the net amount due, arising from the payment of a number of rate notices at one time (i.e. addition
error) OR the tendering of an incorrect amount for a single rate notice (i.e. transposition error)
THEN discount will be allowed in the following manner:
        WHERE THE AMOUNT OF THE ERROR IS $50.00 OR LESS
Full discount will be allowed and the underpaid amount will be treated as ‘Arrears of Rates’.
        WHERE THE AMOUNT OF THE ERROR EXCEEDS $50.00
The Ratepayer will be advised in writing of the error and given 14 days to pay the shortfall. If the
shortfall is paid by the extended due date so advised full discount will be allowed at that time.
Allowance of discount in these circumstances will NOT be allowed if any transposition error or
addition error exceeds 20% of the total net rates payable on the single rate notice or the number of
rate notices paid at one time.

2.4 Pensioner Concessions
Council’s pensioner rate concession to eligible pensioners shall be allowed under Chapter 4, Part
10 of the Local Government Regulation 2012.
2.4.1    Eligibility Criteria
The pensioner:
1. Must comply with eligibility criteria contained in the Queensland Government’s Rate Subsidy
   Scheme and must possess a current, valid qualifying concession card, namely:
        Pensioner Concession Card issued by Centrelink or the Department of Veteran Affairs OR
        Repatriation Health (Gold) Card - (for all Conditions) issued by the Department of Veteran
         Affairs; and
2.   Must be the owner (either solely or jointly), or be an eligible life tenant, in accordance with the
     guidelines for the State Government Rate Subsidy Scheme, of property within the shire which
     is their principal place of residence, AND must have (either solely or jointly) with a co-owner,
     the legal responsibility for payment of rates and charges which are levied in respect of the said
     property by the Council. In the case of joint ownership, the concession will apply only to the
     approved pensioner’s proportionate share of the applicable rates and charges, except where
     the co-owners are an approved pensioner and his/ her spouse. In this situation the concession
     will apply to the full amount of applicable rates and charges; and
3.   Must, if a ‘first time’ applicant, lodge and complete the prescribed application to be entitled to a
     rate concession. The information on this application form will be used by Council to verify the
     eligibility of all pensioners (Centrelink and Veteran Affairs pension recipients). Upon proof of
     eligibility, the entitlement to a concession will commence from either the card start date shown
     on the Pensioner Concession Card or the date of occupation of their principal place of
     residence or the start of the current rating period, whichever is the latter date. Such entitlement
     shall continue until the sale of that property or until the entitlement to a pension ceases to
     exist; and
4.   Must, if an ‘existing’ applicant, lodge another application if required by Council OR on the
     acquisition of a replacement property within the shire. Entitlements to a concession will
     continue without interruption if such application is received within a month of the request for a
     new application or of the property settlement; and
5.   Must have owned, or otherwise paid rates on, property within the shire for the preceding 3
     years. Pensioner concession may be allowed where the applicant has paid rates on property
     within the shire for 5 of the last 10 years, so long as the "gap" between ownerships in this
     period does not exceed 12 months. Discretion may be applied in relation to contribution to the
     shire regarding continuous residency, consistent with pensioner concession arrangements as
     listed above. For holders of the Repatriation Health (Gold) card issued by the Department of
     Veteran Affairs who have been classified as Totally and Permanently Incapacitated the three
     year ownership provision is waived.

An application for an arrangement should be received by Council prior to 31 July 2014 or 31
January 2015. Under an arrangement no discount will be provided for rates which are due.
Repayments will be calculated as at the time of applying for an arrangement and will not incur
interest charges.
Where a ratepayer defaults on an arrangement to pay, the arrangement will be cancelled, and
interest will be charged on the overdue rates and charges in accordance with section 2.5.1 of this
revenue statement. Additionally Council will not enter into any further arrangements during the
rating period covered by the initial arrangement request.

2.6 Deferment of General Rates
Chapter 4 Part 10 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 allows Council to enter into an
agreement with certain ratepayers to defer payment of their general rates.
Council’s pensioner rate deferment concession for eligible pensioners shall be allowed under
Chapter 4, Part 10 of the Local Government Regulation 2012, Section 120(1)(a).




Revenue Statement Page 8                                                                         Page 17

Section 18

Noosa Shire Council Revenue Statement


2.6.1   Deferment for Pensioners
To assist eligible pensioners who have experienced large increases in the value of their property
as determined by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines or have experienced financial
hardship Council will allow deferment of up to 50% of the general rate. The deferred rates will
accumulate as a debt against the property until it is sold or until the death of the ratepayer.
The deferment of general rates applies only to ratepayers categorised in Differential General Rates
Categories 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 28 & 30.
To be eligible to defer up to 50% of the general rate the applicant must:
   own and occupy the property; and
   have no overdue rates and charges on the said property; and
   be the holder of a Pension Concession Card issued by Centrelink or the Department of
    Veteran Affairs; OR
   a Repatriation Health (Gold) Card issued by the Department of Veteran Affairs; OR
   a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card; OR

Note that automatic eligibility applies to those ratepayers currently receiving a Pension Concession

accordingly.
2.6.2 Interest Charges
Interest Charges, or the payment of an additional charge, shall be applied to all deferred general
rates under Section 122(5) of the Local Government Regulation 2012. The interest shall be
compound interest, calculated in daily rests. The interest rate shall be set at the 90 day bank bill
rate as at the adoption of the 2014/15 Budget.
2.6.3 Application to Defer
Ratepayers will be required to apply for a deferment of the general rate. Upon approval of the
application the deferment agreement will continue until Council is notified in writing to cease the
agreement, or until such time as the property is sold, or upon the death of the ratepayer, or until
the due date for payment as specified in the provisions of the deferment agreement

2.7 General Rate Exemptions and Concessions
Section 93 (3) of the Local Government Act 2009 states that certain land is exempt from general
rates. Section 73 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 further details land that is exempt from
rating in accordance with Section 93(3)(j)(ii) of the Local Government Act 2009.
In applying these sections of the Local Government Act 2009 and supporting regulation, Council
will be guided by the principle of communication by raising the awareness of target groups that
may qualify for these exemptions.
Section 73 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 states that for Section 93(3)(j)(ii) of the Act,
the following land is exempted from rating:
(a) land owned by a religious entity if the land is less than 20ha and is used for 1 or more of the
    following purposes:
      (i) religious purposes, including, for example, public worship;
      (ii) the provision of education, health or community services, including facilities for aged
            persons and persons with disabilities;

(b) land vested in, or placed under the management and control of, a person under an Act for:
      (i) a public purpose that is a recreational or sporting purpose; or
      (ii) a charitable purpose;




Revenue Statement Page 9                                                                  Page 18

Section 19

Noosa Shire Council Revenue Statement


(c) land used for purposes of a public hospital if:
      (i) the public hospital is
               (A) part of a private hospital complex; or
               (B) a private and public hospital complex; and
      (ii) the land used for the purposes is more than 2ha and is separated from the rest of the
            complex;
(d) land owned by a community organisation if the land is less than 20ha and is used for providing
    the following:
      (i) accommodation associated with the protection of children;
      (ii) accommodation for students;
      (iii) educational, training or information services aimed at improving labour market
            participation or leisure opportunities;
(e) land used for a cemetery.
In addition to those classes of land granted a general rate exemption under Section 93(3) of the
Local Government Act 2009 and Section 73 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 Council
grants a general rates concession to land identified in Section 120(1)(b) of the Local Government
Regulation 2012 to the extent Council is satisfied the land is owned by an entity whose objects do
not include making a profit or an entity that provides assistance or encouragement for arts or
cultural development and is one of the following:
    Boy Scout and Girl Guide Associations
    Surf Lifesaving and Coastguard organisation
    Community Sporting Organisation – Not for profit organisations without a commercial liquor
     licence or a community club liquor licence
    Community Cultural or Arts Organisation – Not for profit organisations without a commercial
     liquor licence or a community club liquor licence
    Charitable Organisations
    (a) Not for profit organisation; and
    (b) Registered as a charity institution or a public benevolent institution; and
    (c) Providing benefits directly to the community; and
    (d) Endorsed by the Australian Tax Office - Charity Tax Concession.
The concession shall be 100% of the general rate. Applications received during the 2014/15 year
that fall within the categories above will be granted a general rate concession for the year. If a
property has previously been granted a general rate concession in the 2013/14 year the owner will
not be required to re-apply to obtain the concession for the 2014/15 financial year, however they
may be required to provide proof of their ongoing eligibility if requested to do so. Property owners
must immediately notify Council if there is a substantive change of land use for a property in
receipt of a general rate concession.

2.8 Fees and Charges
Section 97 of the Local Government Act 2009 allows a local government to fix a cost recovery fee
and Section 172(1) (c) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 provides that the revenue
statement must state the criteria used to decide the amount of any cost recovery fees. All fees and
charges will be set with reference to full cost pricing. Cost recovery fees will be charged up to a
maximum of full cost. Any non-profit, volunteer, charitable, community, sporting, or religious
organisation not in possession of a permanent liquor or gaming licence or a surf lifesaving club (or
similar organisation) in possession of a permanent liquor licence is eligible for a single discount of
50% reduction in development application fees.
Section 172(1) (d) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 provides that if the local government
conducts a business activity on a commercial basis the revenue statement must state the criteria
used to decide the amount of the charges for the activity’s goods and services. Commercial
charges will be charged at commercial rates for a business activity conducted by Council and all
commercial charges for the 2014/15 financial year are set out in the Register of General Cost-
recovery Fees and Commercial Charges 2014/15 as adopted.

Government Regulation 2012.
3.2.3 Objecting to a Differential General Rate Category
In accordance with Section 90(2) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 the only ground for
objecting is that the owner considers the land should belong to a different rate category.
In accordance with Section 90(3) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 the owner may object
by giving the local government an objection notice. Section 90(4) of the Local Government
Regulation 2012 details the form an objection notice should take.
Section 90(5) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 specifies that the owner must give the
objection notice within:
    (a) 30 days after the day when the rate notice was issued; or
    (b) a longer period that the local government allows.
Noosa Shire Council will only accept objections to rates category within the current financial year in
which the rates were levied.
In accordance with Section 91(5) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 if the Chief Executive
Officer decides to change the rating category of the land, the rating category is taken to have been
changed from the start of the period of the rate notice.
No objections for rates levied in previous financial years will be accepted; consequently no
adjustments for rates levied in previous financial years will be made on the basis of incorrectly
categorised land.
3.2.4 Hardship
Where a landowner:
       (a) has a property that would, but for the provisions of this paragraph, be categorised in

       (c) the family member being housed has special circumstances such as a physical or mental
           disability or safety and privacy concerns that preclude ownership of the property in their
           name as a viable option
the Noosa Shire Council may treat the property as their principal place of residence for the
purposes of determining the Differential General Rate Category.

3.3       Discounts
An early payment discount as mentioned in section 2.3 and Council pensioner concessions as
mentioned in section 2.4 shall be applied to this rate.

APPENDIX 1 - OVERALL PLAN
Tourism Levy

1. Special Rate for Tourism Promotion in the Noosa Shire
As tourism is a key economic driver for the Noosa region, Noosa Shire Council and community
organisations have been collaborating to ensure its long term sustainability.
2. The Rateable Land to Which the Special Rate Applies
Noosa Shire Council has agreed to fund the promotion of tourism and related activities through the
levying of a special rate for the 2014/15 financial year upon all rateable land within the shire which
has been categorised as Transitory Accommodation – Urban, Transitory Accommodation - Rural,
Commercial and Industrial - Urban, Commercial and Industrial - Rural, and Iconic Tourism which
will, in Council’s opinion, receive a benefit from tourism, either directly or indirectly, and as either a
primary beneficiary or a beneficiary of lesser order. However, in accordance with Section 94(10) of
the Local Government Regulation 2012 Council has imposed a minimum amount for each category
of the special rate. No Minimum will apply to strata titled mini storage units.

Iconic Tourism includes those parcels of rateable land that are used wholly or partly for Sheraton
Noosa and any new development completed during the 2014/15 financial year that Noosa Shire
Council considers an iconic tourist attraction.

The urban classification shall apply to all properties in the localities of Noosa Heads, Noosaville,
Tewantin, Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Marcus Beach, Peregian Beach and Castaways
Beach. Properties in all other localities shall be categorised as rural.
Transitory accommodation is defined as properties which are offered for short term residential
rental, being rental for a period of less than 28 days, at any time during the 2014/15 financial year.

3. The Service to be Provided
Council has formed the opinion that businesses and accommodation properties offered for short
term rental in the shire will gain benefit from increased visitation resulting from tourism promotion
activities funded by Council and carried out by Council and/or approved agencies, and that benefits
will accrue both directly from expenditures by tourists and tourism service businesses, and
indirectly through incomes generated by the community from employment in the tourism industry.
4. The Estimated Cost of Implementing the Overall Plan
It is anticipated that the special rate will raise a total of approximately $2,516,000 in the 2014/15
financial year.
Levy funds will be allocated by Council throughout the 2014/15 financial year and any unexpended
funds remaining at the end of the year may be transferred to a subsequent similar plan, if any.
5. Estimated Time for Implementing the Overall Plan
The Overall Plan provides for the costs associated with contributing towards the promotion of the
tourism industry for the 2014/15 financial year.

APPENDIX 2 - OVERALL PLAN
Noosa Waters Lock and Weir Maintenance Levy

1. Special Rate for the Maintenance of the Noosa Waters Lock and Weir
From July 2000, maintenance and operation of the Noosa Waters canal system became the
responsibility of the Noosa Shire Council. With the assistance of consulting engineers, Council has
undertaken long term projections in relation to operating and maintaining the lock and weir system
at an appropriate level of service and has developed a financial plan to fund this program.
2. The Rateable Land to Which the Special Rate Applies
Council has formed the opinion that waterfront allotments in the Noosa Waters estate, as
delineated in the map below, will gain special benefit from this program and has resolved to levy a
special rate to recover the cost.




3. The Service to be Provided
Noosa Shire Council will operate and maintain the Lock and Weir system at Noosa Waters during
the 2014/15 financial year, as part of an ongoing program to provide the appropriate level of
service.
4. The Estimated Cost of Implementing the Overall Plan

point zero zero nine six (0.0096) cents per dollar rateable valuation will be levied on each property
within the benefited area, including strata titled units. However, in accordance with Section 94 (10)
of the Local Government Regulation 2012 Council has imposed a minimum amount of the special
rate. For the 2014/15 financial year the minimum is set at $30.00 per property per annum.

APPENDIX 3 - OVERALL PLAN
Noosa Waters Canal Maintenance Levy

1. Special Rate for the Maintenance of the Noosa Waters Revetment Walls
Following remedial work undertaken by Noosa Council in the Noosa Waters estate canal area to
address structural problems with the revetment walls, Council has decided to implement an
inspection, maintenance and future works program upon advice from appropriately qualified
consulting engineers. Council has developed long term projections of costs associated with the
inspection, maintenance and future works in the Noosa Waters estate canal area to provide
support at a level considered appropriate to ensure the long term viability of the canal revetment
wall system, and has developed a financial plan to fund this program.
2. The Rateable Land to Which the Special Rate Applies
Council has formed the opinion that waterfront allotments in the Noosa Waters estate, as
delineated in the map below, will gain a special benefit from this program and has resolved to levy
a special rate to recover the costs of the inspection, maintenance and future works in the Noosa
Waters estate canal area. As approximately 8.5% of the properties bordering the canals are
Council owned or controlled, Noosa Council will contribute 8.5% of the ongoing costs for this
program, and the remainder of the costs will be met from revenue raised by the special levy.




3. The Service to be Provided
Noosa Shire Council will undertake an inspection, maintenance and future works program in the
Noosa Waters estate canal area to support the revetment wall system during the 2014/15 financial
year, as part of an ongoing program to maintain the structural integrity of the system within the
estate. The program will support the following works:
   An annual inspection program to allow for inspections of the area by Council staff and a
    appropriately qualified consulting engineer. The inspection program will include the lease costs
    of survey equipment and the undertaking of the physical survey work including survey of scour
    protection profiles;
   Periodic maintenance and future works required to maintain scour protection profiles including
    the costs of any contractor to establish a work site and undertake maintenance in the Noosa
    Waters estate canal area to maintain the structural integrity of the revetment wall system.
    Maintenance works include the provision of rock to canal areas adjoining revetment walls to
    assist with the wall structure integrity; and
   Future works that may be required within the Noosa Waters estate canal area to address
    structural problems with the revetment walls in the Noosa Waters Estate. For the sake of
    clarity, future works do not include any works that are or have been undertaken that are known
    as Stage 2.

point zero one seven six (0.0176) cents per dollar rateable valuation will be levied on each property
within the benefited area, including strata titled units. However, in accordance with Section 94 (10)
of the Local Government Regulation 2012 Council has imposed a minimum amount of the special
rate. For the 2014/15 financial year the minimum is set at $80.00 per property per annum.
5. Estimated Time for Implementing the Overall Plan

works in the Noosa Waters estate canal area for the 2014/15 financial year.
On an annual basis, the Council will consult with the Noosa Waters Residents and Ratepayers
Association Inc regarding the results of the annual inspection program and the need for ongoing
inspection, maintenance and the future works program. Council will, in consultation with the Noosa
Waters Residents and Ratepayers Association Inc, review on an annual basis the Noosa Waters

APPENDIX 4 - OVERALL PLAN
Noosa Junction Levy

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 2007-08. 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 and this
has continued over subsequent years. The Noosa Council has received a further request in 2014 from
the Association to continue to fund projects and initiatives that will be implemented in 2014/15 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. An annual special
rate of point two three zero zero (0.2300) cents per dollar rateable valuation will be levied on each
property within the benefited area, including strata titled properties.




3. The Service to be Provided
The Noosa Junction Association will, in consultation with Noosa Shire Council, implement projects and
initiatives as set out in the 2014-15 Work Plan including recommendations of the Noosa Junction
Commercial and Economic Planning Strategy. The Noosa 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 2014-15 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 $90,000 in the 2014/15 financial year. This amount will be insufficient to implement all
the recommendations of the NJCEPS so the Noosa Junction Traders Association will seek funding from
other sources apart from the Special Levy.
5. Estimated Time for Implementing the Overall Plan
The Overall Plan provides for the costs associated with implementing select recommendations of the
Noosa Junction Commercial and Economic Planning Strategy, and projects and initiatives set out in the
2014/15 Annual Work Plan.
Any unexpended funds held by Council at the end of the 2014/15 financial year may be transferred to a
similar plan in the subsequent year, if adopted by Council.

APPENDIX 5 - OVERALL PLAN
Hastings Street Precinct Maintenance Levy

1. Special Rate for the Maintenance of the Hastings Street Precinct
In response to requests from the Hastings Street Association Inc., Noosa Shire Council has agreed
to provide additional street maintenance services above the standard level applied throughout the
local government area with the understanding that the increased level of service will be funded by a
special levy as follows:

   70% by way of a special rate levied on benefited properties within the Hastings Street precinct
    (as delineated on map 5A)
   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
Noosa Shire Council has formed the opinion that all properties within the Hastings Street precinct
as delineated on map 5A, will be specially benefited by increased levels of maintenance of the
Hastings Street precinct, and 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) will also be specially benefited by increased
levels of maintenance of the Hastings Street precinct as this precinct is a primary asset of the
tourism industry in Noosa, and has resolved to levy a special rate to cover the overall costs relating
to the additional services provided by Council. For the purposes of this special levy the definition of
transitory accommodation is the same as that used for the tourism promotion levy in Appendix 1.

3. The Service to be Provided
Noosa Shire Council will, in consultation with the Hastings Street Association Inc., provide
additional maintenance of the Hastings Street precinct above the standard Council level including
but not limited to, maintenance of the timber seating and bollards, increased sweeping of car parks,
additional park maintenance and an ongoing tree replacement program.

4. The Estimated Cost of Implementing the Overall Plan
It is estimated that the special rate will raise a total of $333,000 in the 2014/15 financial year.
For the 2014/15 financial year, Council will levy an annual special rate of point zero nine six (0.096)
cents in the dollar on the rateable value of each parcel of land (including strata titled units) within
the benefited area delineated on map 5A and an annual special rate of point zero three one (0.031)
cents in the dollar on the rateable value of each parcel of the land (including strata titled units) that
gains benefit from tourist visitation within the benefited areas delineated on map 5B, 5C and 5D for
the purpose of defraying costs of increased levels of maintenance in the Hastings Street precinct.
5. Estimated Time for Implementing the Overall Plan
The Overall Plan provides for an increased level of maintenance in the Hastings Street precinct for
the 2014/15 financial year.

APPENDIX 6 - OVERALL PLAN
Noosa Main Beach Maintenance Levy

1. Special Rate for the Maintenance of the Noosa Heads Main Beach
Following discussion with the Hastings Street Association Inc., Noosa Shire Council has agreed to
continue the ongoing restoration and maintenance program at the Noosa Heads Main Beach
throughout the 2014/15 financial year. These activities will be funded by a special levy as follows:

   70% by way of a special rate levied on benefited properties within the Hastings Street precinct
    (as delineated on map 5A)
   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
Noosa Shire Council has formed the opinion that all properties within the Hastings Street precinct
as delineated on map 5A, will be specially benefited by the delivery of an ongoing program of sand
replenishment and maintenance at the Noosa Heads Main Beach, and 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) will also be specially benefited by an ongoing program of sand replenishment and
maintenance at the Noosa Heads Main Beach as this beach is a primary asset of the tourism
industry in Noosa, and has resolved to levy a special rate to cover the overall costs relating to the
works being undertaken by Council. For the purposes of this special levy the definition of transitory
accommodation is the same as that used for the tourism promotion levy in Appendix 1.

APPENDIX 7 - OVERALL PLAN
Rural Fire Charge

1. Special Charge for Assistance to Noosa and Surrounds Rural Fire Brigades
Noosa Shire Council recognises that it is beyond the fundraising ability of the volunteers that staff
the rural fire brigades within Noosa shire to raise the funds to meet their operational costs and to
acquire and maintain the necessary equipment to conduct their activities. Therefore, to provide
financial assistance to Noosa Rural Fire Brigade Group and its constituent Rural Fire Brigades,
Council has resolved to make and levy a special charge for the 2014/15 financial year upon all
rateable land within Noosa shire which will, in the Council’s opinion, specially benefit from the
services provided by the Rural Fire Brigades listed below.


2. The Rateable Land to Which the Special Charges Applies
The special charge for the Rural Fire Charge applies to all rateable land within the Noosa shire that
falls within the Gazetted Rural Fire Brigade area maps for the Rural Fire Brigades listed below.

                            Rural Fire Board Area          Annual Charge

3. The Service to be Provided
The funds raised by the special charge will assist the Brigades within the Noosa shire by providing
funding for the purchase of equipment and operational costs and training initiatives required by the
Queensland Fire and Rescue Service. This will enable the Brigades to direct more time toward:
(a)     prevention of rural fires;
(b)     education of residents; and
(c)     training of volunteers.


4. The Estimated Cost of Implementing the Overall Plan
The special charge will raise a total of approximately $155,000 in the 2014/15 financial year.
Council will distribute these funds to the Noosa Rural Fire Brigade Group in accordance with the
following procedures:
4.1     Following the July and January rate runs the rural fire levy funds collected by the Council
        shall be available for payment to the Rural Fire Brigade Group; and
