     DECISION NOTICE ABOUT THE DECISION TO GIVE
         AN INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES NOTICE
1.    PRELIMINARY

Infrastructure charges are triggered and issued on development approvals as a contribution towards the cost
of "trunk" infrastructure provided to service development and are governed by “Charges Resolutions” adopted
by local government in accordance with the planning legislation and regulations current at the time of issue.
Infrastructure Charges Notices are issued separately by both Council and Unitywater relating to their
specified “Trunk” infrastructure networks.


2.    THE DECISION AND REASONS FOR IT

The planning legislation provides for the following:
  a) authorises local governments to do either or both of the following for development approvals in relation
     to trunk infrastructure—
      (i) adopt, by resolution, charges for development infrastructure and levy the charges;
     (ii) impose particular conditions about development infrastructure; and
  b) authorises local governments, for non-trunk infrastructure, to impose particular conditions about
     development infrastructure; and
  c) provides for a regulation to govern local government adopted charges and charges by distributor-
     retailers under the SEQ Water Act for trunk infrastructure.

Resolution (No.1) 2014" to replace the "Sunshine Coast Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges
Resolution (No.4) 2011" that translated across to Noosa Council on 1 January 2014. The resolution has effect

On 12 February 2015, Noosa Council adopted the "Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014" to

amendments that commenced on 4 June 2014. The resolution has effect on development approvals and charge
notices issued from 16th February 2015 to 27 October 2016 in accordance with the legislation current at
