6.4           Infrastructure Charges
In accordance with Council’s Policy – Infrastructure Charges Rebates for Eligible Community Organisations,
we understand that development of social housing is eligible for a conditional rebate (or deferment), in that
an Infrastructure Charge notice will be issued in full but only require payment should the residential property
no longer remain an affordable rental premises.
As outlined above, protections will be provided to the asset under the Housing Act 2003, to ensure the
premises is retained in the housing system even if Coast2Bay ceases to exist (i.e. the asset will be
transferred to the State or another Registered Community Housing Provider).
On this basis, a separate application will be made to Council seeking a 100% rebate for the proposed
‘Affordable rental premises’, in accordance with ‘Table 1 – Rebates for Eligible Community Organisations’ of
this Policy.
