Noosa Shire 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.
