CHANGES TO EXISITNG APPROVAL- Condition 114 Infrastructure Charges 2014_Final

Page 2

   Requested Change to the Condition:


   That the contributions towards council infrastructure in Condition 114 include
   a provision for staged payments of the contributions in line with the approved
   staging of the development.
   The staging to be as per the approved plan:

   Stage 1 – Lots 6, 7, 8 & Balance Lot 5
   Stage 2 – Lots 10-26, 100,101 & 102 & Balance Lot 5
   Stage 3 – Lots 9, 27, 50 & Balance Lot 5


   Reason for changes:

   Construction of Stage 1 of the development commenced in January 2013 and
   reached practical completion in June 2013. The final survey provides for the
   establishment of 3 lots for sale by Council.

   Prior to the survey plan being sealed for a development, payment of contributions
   towards Council infrastructure is required in accordance with the development
   approval conditions. The infrastructure contributions payable for the entire
   development is approximately $3,058,218 (subject to annual indexation).

   Currently upon sealing of the survey plan for stage 1 Council will be required to pay
   the total infrastructure charges for the whole development (i.e. stages 1-3 22 Lots).

   It would seem more reasonable that the payment of the contributions towards
   infrastructure be aligned with the completion of each stage of the development.


2. Request a review of Roadwork Contributions required in Condition No.114

   Requested Change to the Condition:
   We request a review and amendment of the Roadworks Contributions
   proportion of the contributions towards Council Infrastructure.

          Reason for change:
          A review the Roadworks Contribution as the amount of the contribution is not
          seen to be fair or reasonable and far excessive of previous contributions
          issued for other approvals, particularly in comparison to charges applicable
          under the current legislation. It appears that the assessment has been
          undertaken differently compared to the other PSP network contributions. It is
          requested that the contributions are reviewed and application of the road
          contribution be applied on the same basis as per Advisory Note 1 for other
          Council owned networks i.e. to be based on 40% site cover = 18,844m2 Use
          Area.


In accordance with the IDAS provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, we
hereby make an application to Noosa Council for a change to an existing
Development Approval.
