Under the above proposal, the infrastructure charge for Council networks for a 3 bedroom
dwelling would then become $16,800 across all areas of Noosa Shire and if not supplied with
Water and/or Sewerage, the development would then not be charged by Unitywater accordingly.

The proposed amendment for a change to the breakup agreement may only be included in an
amendment to Council’s Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution on agreement being reached
with Unitywater.

15.        Fair Value Charges and Co-Investment Program

The State Government has introduced a new “Priority Development Infrastructure Co-investment
Program” to encourage local governments to adopt alternative infrastructure charges on
development promoted as “fair value schedule of charges”. This scheme is not governed by the
amended legislation.

To be eligible for this co-investment program, local governments must adopt infrastructure
charges at or below the “fair value charges schedule” which is generally 10% lower for residential
developments and 15% lower for non-residential development than the current maximum
charges.

The scheme is to be managed by Economic Development Queensland who will work with local
governments, water distributor-retailers and developers to identify “Priority Development
Infrastructure” (PDI) projects that will generate or facilitate significant economic benefit through
growth in residential, retail, commercial and industrial developments. The key parameter for
assessing economic benefit is how much future investment does the delivery of the infrastructure
create and how quickly.
