                                    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.        DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT, DECISION AND REASONS FOR ISSUING CHARGE

                 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 (Refer to the
                              "Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution” under which the infrastructure charge was issued);

                           (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.

                 The triggers for issuing infrastructure charges are generally triggered by the issue of a development permit
                 for either:

                      (1) Reconfiguration of a lot; or

                      (2) Material Change of Use of Premises; or

                      (3) Building Works; or

                      (4) Other development.

                 Infrastructure charges are not imposed by condition on a development permit - they are an action that follows
                 the issue of a permit. So consequently, charges may be imposed in cases where a development permit for a lot
                 reconfiguration or material change of use of premises has previously been granted, but a development permit
                 for building works is yet to issue.

                 Council’s decision and reason/s for issuing the infrastructure charge is because the development results in an
                 increase in the type/s and/or quantity in use/s on the site and therefore places additional demand on
                 infrastructure. The determination of additional demand on infrastructure correlates directly to the
                 infrastructure charge calculation undertaken in accordance with Council’s Charges Resolution and the planning
                 legislation. Refer also to Queensland State Government Fact Sheet: “Local government infrastructure
                 framework, Calculating additional demand and existing use credits”.

                 The Infrastructure Charges Notice includes “Special Notes” (if applicable) on page 2 and together with the
                 infrastructure charge calculation on page 3, provides full and factual details to enable the applicant to review
                 and if required, for making a submission to Council on the infrastructure charge issued in relation to any of
                 the following:
