                                               Charges Resolution (No.3) 2018

            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.

                                         Council Resolution effective 24 September 2018
