  Purpose and Applicability of Rebates
  The rebate system is primarily based on the philosophy that organisations that construct
  new or expanded community service, sporting or recreational facilities should receive a full
  rebate of the infrastructure contributions or charges.
  However, the rebate system also takes into account that some developments also have
  access to other Government grants or subsidies (e.g. Federal or State Government
  education grants).
  Some community, sporting or recreational (not-for-profit) organisations also provide facilities
  of a commercial nature (e.g. sporting clubs, surf lifesaving clubs or RSL clubs that have full
  bar trading, meals and poker machine facilities). Infrastructure charges rebates will not
  apply to the commercial component of such organisations as these elements need not be
  subsidised by the community.
  Infrastructure charges rebates will apply for eligible community organisations that are
  located on land owned or controlled by Council, owned or controlled by the Queensland or   00
