                    A levied infrastructure charge is payable in accordance with the Planning Act 2076 at the
                    following time:
                            (a)      if the charge applies to reconfiguring a lot —when the Council approves
                                     the plan for the reconfiguration that, under the Land Title Act, is required
                                     to be given to Council for approval; or
                            (b)      if the charge applies to building work — when the certificate of
                                     classification or final inspection certificate for the building work is given
                                     under the Building Act; or

           9.4      Alternatives to paying a levied charge
                    The Council may give consideration to entering into an infrastructure agreement involving
                    an alternative to the way a payment is to be made or an infrastructure contribution
                    provided in a form other than paying an infrastructure charge.
           9.5      Automatic increase provision of levied charge
                    The levied infrastructure charge is subject to an automatic increase provision (indexation)

                       (1) The infrastructure charge is first calculated using the adopted charge rates in
                           section 10 at the base date of 1 July 2018 for the 2018-2019 Financial Year and
                           indexed to the Financial Year current at the time of issue of the infrastructure
                           charge notice;
                    (2)     The issued infrastructure charge is subject to further indexation from the date of
                            issue until the date of payment.
                    (3)     Indexation is applied annually 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.
