 IMPORTANT NOTE – Distribution Retailers

 The State Government recently introduced legislation changing the way Distributor Retailers
 such as Unitywater are involved in development related matters from 1 July 2014. The
 changes include:
    (a) In most instances, applicants will make separate applications to Unitywater for a
        Water Approval for any aspect of their development relating to water and sewerage
        matters.
    (b) Importantly, applicants will be responsible for the coordination of the various aspects
        of their project including any differences between the Council’s development approval
        and a Unitywater approval.
    (c) Noosa Council will only be issuing an Infrastructure Charges Notice for infrastructure
        networks controlled by Noosa Council, with Unitywater issuing a separate
        Infrastructure Charges Notice for water and sewerage infrastructure.
    (d) Infrastructure contributions, fees, bonds, easement documents in favour of Unitywater
        and the like will need to be paid/lodged at Unitywater and not at Noosa Council.
    (e) Where there are any issues associated with water or sewerage matters, it is
        recommended Applicants consult with Unitywater and if necessary seek a ‘Services
        Advice Notice’ from Unitywater. This is equivalent to the Council’s Prelodgement
        meeting service.
This document is a record of prelodgement discussions and will not be made available for public viewing. Prelodgement
discussions are conducted to explore development options and requirements, identify issues and provide guidance to prospective
applicants about Council’s policies for development. The recorded discussion items and outcomes in no way imply or commit to an
approval of the proposal on the part of Council or Council officers, nor guarantee that all potential issues associated with a
development proposal have been raised / identified. When a formal development application is lodged, the proposal will be
assessed on its planning merits in accordance with Council’s policy framework existing at the time of the assessment.
