Attachments 1. Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.3) 2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Adopted Infrastructure Charges regime introduced by the State Government first
commenced on 1 July 2011 and replaced all previous contributions and charges regimes
applying to new development approvals issued from that date. This regime has continued
operation over the past seven years with numerous legislative amendments and updates having
occurred during that time.
Council’s current Charges Resolution is dated 28 October 2016 and with further legislative
amendments having recently occurred, it is appropriate that Council review and update its
Charges Resolution accordingly to ensure continued compliance with legislation. A workshop
was held with Councillors on 6 September 2018 where the issues were discussed in detail with
the proposed changes primarily relating to indexing of charges and removal of the stormwater
charge for areas outside the Priority Infrastructure Area.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Infrastructure Assessment Coordinator to the General
Committee Meeting dated 17 September 2018 regarding amendment to the Infrastructure
Charges Resolution and:
A. Adopt the “Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.3) 2018” provided at Attachment 1
to the report, to take effect on Monday 24 September 2018 replacing the “Noosa Shire
Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014 (Amendment 1)”;
B. Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to:
1. Review infrastructure charge notices issued from 8 June 2018 (the date the current
LGIP took effect) and where applicable for developments located outside the PIA,
issue “Amended Infrastructure Charges Notices” removing the stormwater
component of the charge;
2. Apply the annual indexation methodology in line with item 9.5 (3) “Automatic increase
provision of levied charge” contained in the new “Noosa Shire Council Charges
Resolution (No.3) 2018” for all infrastructure charges remaining to be paid that were
issued from 1 July 2011 under all previous adopted “Council Charges Resolutions”;
3. Continue to apply quarterly indexation using variations in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) for:
i. all infrastructure contributions and/or infrastructure charge notices remaining to
be paid that were issued prior to 1 July 2011 under the former Planning
Scheme Policies (PSP’s) contained as a condition of a development permit
and/or under the former Coastal Major Road Network Infrastructure Charges
Plan (CMRNICP); and
ii. all infrastructure charges and/or contributions being paid under delayed staged
payment or other infrastructure agreements.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 SEPTEMBER 2018
REPORT
On 1 July 2011, the State government commenced the Adopted Infrastructure Charges regime
which replaced all other forms of infrastructure contributions and charges applying to new
development approvals from that date. This required local governments to adopt Infrastructure
Charges Resolutions that complied with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) and State
Planning Regulatory Provision (adopted charges) (SPRP) current at that time.
Various reviews, amendments and updates of the legislation have continually occurred over the
past seven years which have sometimes required consequential amendments and updates to be
made to local government infrastructure charging resolutions.
The legislative periods impacting infrastructure charges are highlighted below:
Prior to 1 July 2011 (IPA 1997 & SPA 2009)
o Planning Scheme Policy (PSP) contributions as conditions of a development permit &
infrastructure charges under CMRNICP
1 July 2011 to 3 July 2014 (SPA 2009 & SPRP)
o Adopted infrastructure charges
o Discount for existing development at Council discretion
o No specific indexation requirements other than simply limited to maximum SPRP
amount
4 July 2014 to 2 July 2017 (SPA 2009 & SPRP)
o “levied charge” terminology introduced
o Limitations of levied charge (only for extra demand)
o Additional indexation limitations
From 3 July 2017 (Planning Act 2016 & Planning Regulation 2017)
o Limitations of levied charge (only for extra demand)
o Indexation limitations
o Transitional clause 302 complications
Since 1 July 2011, developments approved in Noosa Shire have been issued with infrastructure
charges “adopted” under the following “Charges Resolutions”:
i. Sunshine Coast Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2011
dated 29 June 2011;
ii. Sunshine Coast Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.2) 2011
dated 7 December 2011;
iii. Sunshine Coast Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.2) 2011
(Rev.1) dated 20 September 2012;
iv. Sunshine Coast Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.3) 2011
dated 28 February 2013;
v. Sunshine Coast Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.4) 2011
dated 22 August 2013;
vi. Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2014 dated 6
February 2014;
vii. Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014 dated 16 February 2015; and
viii. Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014 (Amendment 1) dated 28 October
2016 (the current resolution).

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 SEPTEMBER 2018
With recent amendments to the Planning Act 2016 on 9 May 2018, the Planning Regulation 2017
on 2 July 2018 and Council’s adoption of the LGIP that replaced the former PIP on 8 June 2016,
it is appropriate that Council review and update its charges resolution and processes accordingly
to ensure continued compliance with the legislation as amended.
1. Review of Current Charges Resolution
Amendments to the legislation have, through the transitional provisions of the successive acts,
generally maintained previous infrastructure charges in accordance with the provision of the
particular act under which they were originally issued. However, this has still introduced
complications in administering infrastructure charges issued under the various adopted Council
charges resolutions and legislation over this time.
Staff review of Council’s current “Charges Resolution” has identified that a number of
amendments should be made to ensure continued compliance with the current Planning Act
2016.
A workshop was held with Councillors on 6 September 2018 where the following main review
items were raised and discussed:
i. References to the repealed “Sustainable Planning Act 2009” and “State Planning
Regulatory Provision (adopted charges) 2012” should be updated to reference the current
“Planning Act 2016” and “Planning Regulation 2017”;
ii. The State’s annual indexation of the maximum permissible charge rates have not been
consistent over time nor applied uniformly across all uses.
To avoid any confusion or potential errors, Council’s schedule of adopted charges should
therefore be updated to reflect the maximum charge rates permissible being the
“prescribed amounts” under Schedule 16 of the current Planning Regulation 2017
amendment dated 2 July 2018 applying for the current 2018-2019 financial year.
iii. The automatic increase provisions of the legislation has had significant modifications
implemented over time. This has complicated the indexation of “adopted” infrastructure
charges depending on when they were issued i.e. prior to or after 4 July 2014 or after 3
July 2017.
Section 114 (5) of the current Planning Act 2016 stipulates an automatic increase must not
be more than the lesser of the following:
(a) the difference between —
(i) the levied charge; and
(ii) the maximum adopted charge that the local government could have levied for
the development when the charge is paid;
(b) the increase worked out using the PPI, adjusted according to the 3-yearly PPI
average, for the period —
(i) starting on the day the levied charge is levied; and
(ii) ending on the day the charge is paid.
Where the:
3-yearly PPI average means the PPI adjusted according to the 3-year moving
average quarterly percentage change between financial quarters; and
PPI means the producer price index for construction 6427.0 (ABS PPI) index number
3101 — Road and Bridge construction index for Queensland published by the
Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The “automatic increase provision” contained in Council’s charges resolution has remained
unchanged since its first adoption in 2011. Technically, the current resolution requires 2
Page 5 of 48
Section 6
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 SEPTEMBER 2018
different calculations be undertaken for issuing a charge and 3 different calculations to
determine the actual indexation to apply when time comes for payment (i.e. using
variations in: CPI, current permissible maximum charge and/or 3-yearly PPI average). This
creates an unnecessarily complex process of calculation.
It is proposed to simplify Council’s “automatic increase provision” to one single indexation
method that will apply uniformly on the issue and subsequent payment of the charge that
will satisfy the current legislation i.e.
“annual indexation per Financial Year using variations applicable to the “maximum amount”
possible to be issued under the Planning Regulation 2017 as amended in accordance with
the legislation, from the stipulated base date to the time of issue and payment.”
The implication of Section 302 (Transitional provision) of the current Planning Act 2016 is
unclear in relation to payment of previously issued adopted infrastructure charges. It is
therefore proposed to apply the above indexation methodology to all remaining
infrastructure charges issued after 1 July 2011 under all previous “adopted” Council
charges resolutions to ensure consistency and limit potential legal risks.
However, CPI indexation will need to continue for all infrastructure contributions and/or
infrastructure charge notices remaining to be paid that were issued prior to 1 July 2011
under the former Planning Scheme Policies (PSP’s) contained as a condition of a
development permit and/or under the former Coastal Major Road Network Infrastructure
Charges Plan (CMRNICP). This will ensure these contributions/charges comply with their
specific legislative requirements under which they were issued. Similarly, infrastructure
charges and/or contributions under delayed staged payment or other infrastructure
agreements need to comply with the written legal agreements entered into at the time.
iv. Section 120 (1) of the current Planning Act 2016 stipulates, “A levied charge may be only
for extra demand placed on trunk infrastructure that the development will generate.”
Under Council’s LGIP that took effect on 8 June 2018 replacing the former PIP, the
stormwater network now only provides “trunk” infrastructure within the Priority Infrastructure
Area (PIA) urban service catchments. Therefore, Council’s charges resolution should
reflect that the stormwater component of the charge will only apply to development located
inside the PIA.
Since 8 June 2018, only five infrastructure charges notices have been issued on
development approvals located outside the PIA. Accordingly, these notices should be
reviewed and reissued with “amended” infrastructure charges notices removing the
stormwater component of the charge if applicable.
v. A number of recent court judgements have provided some clarity to a number of unclear
legislative provisions. Amendments to the current charges resolution are included to help
clarify some issues raised in recent court judgements.
vi. Table 10.3 Schedule of adopted charges has been simplified to show Unitywater’s and
Council’s charge rates according to the existing breakup agreement relating to the current
“prescribed amounts” under the Planning Regulation 2017 for the 2018-2019 financial year.
Any reductions for specific uses to Council’s charge rates as decided by Council, are then
detailed where applicable.
In accordance with discussions held during the Council workshop on 6 September 2018,
Council’s reduced charge rates have been maintained from the current resolution at the
CPI June 2018 indexed rates as the new 2018-2019 base rates for the following uses:
Multiple housing Types 2, 4 and 5 for 1 bedroom units;
Secondary dwelling to a detached house;
Multiple housing Type 3 Retirement and special needs; and
Entertainment and dining business Type 2 Recreation, amusement and fitness.
The amended Charges Resolution is provided as Attachment 1.

Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 28 August 2014, Item 2, Page 6
That Council note the report by the Priority Infrastructure Planning and Infrastructure Charges
Officer to the Planning & Organisation Committee dated 28 January 2014 and:
1. Adopt the “Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2014”
(provided at Attachment 1 to the report) to replace the “Sunshine Coast Regional Council
Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.4) 2011” applying to development
governed by The Noosa Plan;
2. Publicly notify the adoption of the “Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges
Resolution (No.1) 2014” and forward a copy to the Chief Executive, Department of State
Development, Infrastructure and Planning in accordance with section 648D of the
“Sustainable Planning Act 2009”;
3. Adopt Noosa Council policy positions regarding Extensions to Relevant Periods (through
infrastructure agreements) and/or subsequent Infrastructure Charge Notices triggered by
Building Permits, to charge development for all networks, including those previously
missing where:
a) missing networks are to be charged at the current Adopted Infrastructure Charges;
and
b) the missing network charge is limited so that it does not cause the total amount
payable for the development to exceed the total maximum adopted charge
permissible under the “Statutory Planning Regulatory Provision (adopted charges)”.
4. For development requesting to transfer to an alternative infrastructure charges regime to
that previously applied under an existing development approval, Council:
a) require a new development application to be lodged; and
b) offer a 50% reduction to the application fee for these new development applications,
provided there is no change to the development previously approved and no
additional assessment is required to that previously undertaken under The Noosa
Plan; and
c) request the applicant to cancel their previous development approval under sections
379 and 380 of the “Sustainable Planning Act 2009” at no cost to the applicant,
once a dew development approval takes effect.
5. Note the State Government’s review of the current Adopted Infrastructure Charges regime
is likely to impact the level of infrastructure charges that can be levied on future
development and priority infrastructure planning requirements. A further report will be
provided to Council once the outcome is known.

B. Authorise changes to Table 10.3 of Council’s Charges Resolution for secondary
dwellings, community residences and intensive cultivation uses, as provided at
Attachment 2 (Amended) to the report.
Councillor Workshop, 6 September 2018
Finance
Council is required to have adopted a Charges Resolution that is compliant with current planning
legislation to issue infrastructure charges and impose conditions about trunk infrastructure on
development. The average revenue obtained through infrastructure charges is estimated at $2.2
million plus per annum.
Risks & Opportunities
Regular reviews with appropriate updates to Council’s Charges Resolution will reduce the risk for
potential legal appeals being lodged against infrastructure charges issued on development.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
Verbal consultation was undertaken with the Unit Leader, Development Services Department in
Unitywater on 30 July 2018 and is agreeable to the updates proposed to Council’s Charges
Resolution as there are no impacts or issues for Unitywater since:
the “breakup agreement” remains unchanged; and
their apportionments under the “breakup agreement” remain based on the maximum
charge rates permissible under the Planning Regulation 2017.

Part 3 Levied charge
8. Levied infrastructure charge
8.1 Purpose
Section 8 states the calculation of the infrastructure charge to be levied by the following:
(a) the Council under Chapter 4 of the Planning Act 2076 for the transport,
public parks & land for community facilities and stormwater networks in
accordance with the breakup agreement:
(b) the distributor-retailer under the South-East Queensland Water
(Distribution and Retail Restructuring) Act 2009 for the sewerage and
water supply networks in accordance with the breakup agreement.
An infrastructure charge applies where 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 trunk
infrastructure. The determination of extra demand on trunk infrastructure correlates
directly to the infrastructure charge calculation undertaken in accordance with section 8.2
(Calculation of levied charge) and section 8.3 (Adopted charge rates) in compliance with
the planning legislation. Refer also to Queensland State Government Fact Sheet: “Local
government infrastructure framework, Calculating additional demand and existing use
credits”.
8.2 Calculation of levied charge
Infrastructure charges are calculated and levied separately by the Council and distributer-
retailer in accordance with the charges breakup agreement and relevant legislation.
The legislation states: “A levied charge may be only for extra demand placed on trunk
infrastructure that the development will generate.” In this regard, alternative calculation
methodologies may be undertaken according to whether the development approved:
(a) alters the current development and/or use/s lawfully existing on the
premises whereby the calculation needs to consider the new “total”
development approved and deduct the previous lawful development;
or alternatively:
(b) simply only adds to the current development use/s lawfully existing on
the premises whereby the calculation may be simplified to just comprise
the approved additional development quantity and use/s.
(1) An_ infrastructure charge that may be levied for reconfiguring a lot is generally
calculated as follows:
LCror = (ACrot X Qrot) - C
Where:
LCro. is the infrastructure charge levied for reconfiguring a lot.

Noosa Shire Council
Charges Resolution (No.3) 2018
ACro._ is the adopted charge rate for reconfiguring a lot stated in section 8.3
(Adopted charge rate).
Qro. _ is the total no of lots.
Cc is the credit stated in section 8.4 (Credit).
Note:
(a) for residential lot reconfiguration, the adopted infrastructure charge
is apportioned across all networks;
(b) for non-residential lot reconfiguration, the adopted infrastructure
charge apportionment excludes the stormwater charge component.
The stormwater charge will be calculated and issued on a
subsequent material change of use or building work approval when
the impervious area is able to be determined.
(2) An_ infrastructure charge that may be levied for a material change of use or
building work for residential development is generally calculated as follows:
LCr = (Sum(ACr x Qr) for each defined use) - C
Where:
LCr is the infrastructure charge that may be levied for a material change of
use or building work for residential development.
ACr is the adopted charge rate for each defined use for a material change of
use or building work for residential development stated in section 8.3
(Adopted charge rate).
Qr is the residential quantity for each defined use.
Cc is the credit stated in section 8.4 (Credit).
(3) An infrastructure charge that may be levied for a material change of use or
building work for non-residential development is generally calculated as follows:
LC = LCynr+ LCsw
Where:
Lc is the infrastructure charge that may be levied for the total development
LCnr = (Sum of (AC x Qa) for each defined use) - C4
LCsw= (ACsw X Qsw) - Csw
LCynr is the infrastructure charge that may be levied for a material change of
use or building work for non-residential development for the transport,
public parks and land for community facilities, water supply and
sewerage networks.
LCsw _ is the levied charge for a material change of use or building work for
non-residential development for the stormwater network.

infrastructure condition of a development approval, that services or is
planned to service premises other than the subject premises; and;
(b) a levied infrastructure charge applies to the development.
11.3 Establishment cost for an infrastructure offset
The establishment cost for determining offsets for provision of trunk infrastructure
required in a necessary infrastructure condition shall be the establishment cost
identified in the LGIP or Netserv Plan and indexed to the reference date of the
issued infrastructure charges notice.
11.4 Recalculation of establishment cost for an infrastructure offset
(1) Where a notice is given by an applicant under s. 657 of SPA requesting a
recalculation of the establishment cost for the trunk infrastructure that is works,
the recalculated amount shall be the pre-market estimate of the work as follows:
The pre-market estimate of work for the trunk infrastructure contribution is the
estimate expressed in dollars of the design and construction of the work:
(a) including the following:
(i) the cost of planning and designing the work;
(ii) the cost of survey and site investigation for the work;
(iii) a cost under a construction contract for the work;
(iv) a portable long service leave payment for a construction
contract;
(v) an insurance premium for the work;
(vi) a Council inspection fee for the commencement and end of the
maintenance period for the work;

(b) excluding the following:
(i) a cost of carrying out temporary infrastructure;
(ii) a cost of carrying out other infrastructure which is not part of the
trunk infrastructure contribution;
(iii) a cost of the decommissioning, removal and rehabilitation of
infrastructure identified in paragraphs (i) and (ii);
(iv) a part of the trunk infrastructure contribution provided by the
Council or a person other than the person seeking the
infrastructure offset;
(v) a cost to the extent that GST is payable and an input tax credit
can be claimed for the work.
(c) The applicant:
(i) must undertake a tender process in accordance with the
Council’s Procurement Policy for any work contribution which is
eligible for an Infrastructure Offset under this document;
(ii) must give the Council a Notice which states the claimant's
calculation of the pre-market estimate, which will include, as
applicable;
A. a copy of the tender advertisement;
B. a copy of each tender received;
C. the claimant’s preferred tenderer;
D. the claimant’s reason for the preferred tenderer;

Council and the applicant to determine the estimate. The cost of this
independent assessment is to be equally shared between the local
authority and the applicant and the amended cost estimate determined
by the independent assessor becomes the establishment cost of the
infrastructure.
However, if the Council and the applicant cannot reach agreement on
the appointment of an independent assessor, the establishment cost of
the infrastructure is determined by calculating the average of the
previous two cost estimates prepared on behalf of the applicant and the
Council respectively.
(2) Where a notice is given by an applicant under s. 657 of SPA requesting a
recalculation of the establishment cost for the trunk infrastructure that is land, the
recalculated amount shall be the value estimated for the land based on the pre-
approved and pre-developed state of the land as follows:
a) The applicant, at their own cost, must provide to the Council a valuation
of the specified land undertaken by a certified practicing valuer. If the
Council accepts the valuation, the valuation is the establishment cost of
the infrastructure.
(b) If the Council does not agree with the applicant’s valuation, the Council
will provide its own alternative valuation to the applicant. If the applicant
agrees with the Council’s alternative Pre-Market Estimate, it becomes
the establishment cost of the infrastructure.
(c) If agreement cannot be reached on the valuation, an independent
assessor is to be appointed by agreement between the Council and the
applicant to determine the estimate. The cost of this independent
assessment is to be equally shared between the local authority and the
applicant and the amended valuation estimate determined by the
independent assessor becomes the establishment cost of the
infrastructure.
However, if the Council and the applicant cannot reach agreement on
the appointment of an independent assessor, the establishment cost of
the infrastructure is determined by calculating the average of the
previous two valuation estimates prepared on behalf of the applicant and
the Council respectively.

capital grants ($186k). Note that the timing of capital grant receipts are generally dependent on
the timing of grant conditions and also capital delivery performance, and that the timing of the
receipt of developer contributions (both cash and contributed) is unpredictable.

The following chart monitors the year-to-date trend on total cash and the agencies invested.
During August, total cash increased due to the payment of July rates and levies. To ensure
optimal return in accordance with the Investment Policy, $10 million was invested during August
within a range of NAB term deposits and a further $10 million committed in early September with
Suncorp bank. Also, a $4 million 12-month term deposit held with Bendigo bank matured during
August. This was immediately reinvested for a further 12-month period.
