               DECISION NOTICE ABOUT THE DECISION TO GIVE
                   AN 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.
          For development approved prior to 1 July 2011, infrastructure contributions and (ICP) charges continue to
          apply in accordance with the development approval conditions and or (ICP) infrastructure charge notices issued
          under legislation current at the time those approvals & (ICP) charge notices were issued.
          For development approved from 1 July 2011, adopted infrastructure charges are governed by local
          government adopted infrastructure charges resolutions in accordance with the "Sustainable Planning Act
          2009" and “State Planning Regulatory Provision (adopted charges)”.
          The Sustainable Planning (Infrastructure Charges) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2014 introduced
          further amendments that commenced to apply for developments approved from 4 July 2014.
          From 1 July 2014, Infrastructure Charges Notices are issued separately by both Council and Unitywater
          relating to their specified “Trunk” infrastructure networks. All payments (including contributions & charges
          previously issued) are also payable separately to Council and Unitywater respectfully.
          From 3 July 2017, lodged applications and infrastructure charges are assessed and issued in accordance with
          the Planning Act 2016 and Planning Regulation 2017.


          2.      THE DECISION AND REASONS FOR IT

          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;
                (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.
          On 6 February 2014, Noosa Council adopted the "Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges
          Resolution (No.1) 2014" to replace the "Sunshine Coast Regional Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges
          Resolution (No.4) 2011" that translated across to Noosa Council on 1 January 2014. The resolution has effect
          on development approvals and charge notices issued from 6th February 2014 to 15 February 2015 in
          accordance with the legislation current at the time of issue.
          On 12 February 2015, Noosa Council adopted the "Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014" to
          replace the "Noosa Shire Council Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2014" to include legislative
          amendments that commenced on 4 June 2014. The resolution has effect on development approvals and charge
          notices issued from 16th February 2015 to 27 October 2016 in accordance with the legislation current at
          the time of issue.
          On 20 October 2016, Noosa Council adopted the "Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.2) 2014
          (Amendment 1)" to reflect adopted amendments made to the planning scheme. The resolution has effect on
          development approvals and charge notices issued from 28th October 2016 in accordance with the planning
          legislation current at the time of issue.
