2014-06-18 Special Meeting Budget

Noosa Shire Council



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.
