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.
(1) An infrastructure charge that may be levied for reconfiguring a lot is calculated
as follows:
LCROL = (ACROL x QROL) - C
Where:
LCROL is the infrastructure charge levied for reconfiguring a lot.
ACROL is the adopted charge rate for reconfiguring a lot stated in section 8.3
(Adopted charge rate).
QROL is the total no of lots.
C is the credit stated in section 8.4 (Credit).
Note:
(a) for residential lot reconfiguration, the adopted infrastructure charge
is apportioned across all networks;
(b) for non-residential lot reconfiguration, the adopted infrastructure
charge apportionment excludes the stormwater charge component.
The stormwater charge will be calculated and issued on a
subsequent material change of use or building work approval when
the impervious area is able to be determined.
(2) An infrastructure charge that may be levied for a material change of use or
building work for residential development is calculated as follows:
LCR = (Sum(ACR x QR) for each defined use) − C
Where:
Council Resolution effective 16 February 2015
Section 12
12
Noosa Shire Council
Charges Resolution (No. 2) 2014
LCR is the infrastructure charge that may be levied for a material change of
use or building work for residential development.
ACR is the adopted charge rate for each defined use for a material change of
use or building work for residential development stated in section 8.3
(Adopted charge rate).
QR is the residential quantity for each defined use.
C is the credit stated in section 8.4 (Credit).
(3) An infrastructure charge that may be levied for a material change of use or
building work for non-residential development is calculated as follows:
LC = LCNR + LCSW
Where:
LC is the infrastructure charge that may be levied for the total development
LCNR = (Sum of (AC4 x Q4) for each defined use) − C4
LCSW = (ACSW x QSW) − CSW
LCNR is the infrastructure charge that may be levied for a material change of
use or building work for non-residential development for the transport,
public parks and land for community facilities, water supply and
sewerage networks.
LCSW is the levied charge for a material change of use or building work for
non-residential development for the stormwater network.
AC4 is the adopted charge rate for each defined use for a material change of
use or building work for non-residential development stated in section
8.3 (Adopted charge rate) for the transport, public parks and land for
community facilities, water supply and sewerage networks.
ACSW is the adopted charge rate for a material change of use or building work
for non-residential development stated in section 8.3 (Adopted charge
rate) for the stormwater network.
Q4 is the non-residential quantity for each defined use.
QSW is the impervious area of the development.
C4 is the credit stated in section 8.4 (Credit) for the transport, public parks
and land for community facilities, water supply and sewerage networks.
CSW is the credit stated in section 8.4 (Credit) for the stormwater network.
(4) An infrastructure charge is only levied if the calculation in sub-sections (1), (2)
and (3) results in an amount greater than $zero (i.e. no refund applies should the
calculated charge result in a negative amount).

Part 4 Offset and refund for Council trunk
infrastructure
11. Infrastructure offset
11.1 Purpose
Section 11 states the Council’s policy for calculating the establishment cost for an
infrastructure offset for provision of trunk infrastructure.
11.2 Application of section
Section 11 applies where for a development, the Council has for a trunk infrastructure
network:
(a) requires trunk infrastructure to be provided under a necessary
infrastructure condition of a development approval, that services or is
planned to service premises other than the subject premises; and;
(b) a levied infrastructure charge applies to the development.
11.3 Establishment cost for an infrastructure offset
The establishment cost for determining offsets for provision of trunk infrastructure
required in a necessary infrastructure condition shall be the establishment cost
identified in the LGIP or Netserv Plan and indexed to the reference date of the
issued infrastructure charges notice.
11.4 Recalculation of establishment cost for an infrastructure offset
(1) Where a notice is given by an applicant under s. 657 of SPA requesting a
recalculation of the establishment cost for the trunk infrastructure that is works,
the recalculated amount shall be the pre-market estimate of the work as follows:
The pre-market estimate of work for the trunk infrastructure contribution is the
estimate expressed in dollars of the design and construction of the work:
(a) including the following:
(i) the cost of planning and designing the work;
(ii) the cost of survey and site investigation for the work;
(iii) a cost under a construction contract for the work;
(iv) a portable long service leave payment for a construction
contract;
(v) an insurance premium for the work;
(vi) a Council inspection fee for the commencement and end of the
maintenance period for the work;
(vii) the cost of an approval for the work;
Council Resolution effective 16 February 2015
Section 25
25
Noosa Shire Council
Charges Resolution (No. 2) 2014
(b) excluding the following:
(i) a cost of carrying out temporary infrastructure;
(ii) a cost of carrying out other infrastructure which is not part of the
trunk infrastructure contribution;
(iii) a cost of the decommissioning, removal and rehabilitation of
infrastructure identified in paragraphs (i) and (ii);
(iv) a part of the trunk infrastructure contribution provided by the
Council or a person other than the person seeking the
infrastructure offset;
(v) a cost to the extent that GST is payable and an input tax credit
can be claimed for the work.
(c) The applicant:
(i) must undertake a tender process in accordance with the
Council’s Procurement Policy for any work contribution which is
eligible for an Infrastructure Offset under this document;
(ii) must give the Council a Notice which states the claimant’s
calculation of the pre-market estimate, which will include, as
applicable;
A. a copy of the tender advertisement;
B. a copy of each tender received;
C. the claimant’s preferred tenderer;
D. the claimant’s reason for the preferred tenderer;
E. a copy of the proposed Work Contract issued by the
claimant’s preferred tenderer;
F. detailed plans and specifications showing the extent of
the Work Contribution eligible for an Infrastructure
Offset;
G. the claimant’s calculation of the cost providing a Works
Contribution to which an Infrastructure Offset applies;
H. the total of the claimant’s calculation of the Pre-Market
Estimate.
(iii) If the Council agrees with the applicant’s Pre-Market Estimate, it
becomes the establishment cost of the infrastructure.
(d) If the Council does not agree with the applicant’s Pre-Market Estimate,
the Council will provide its own alternative Pre-Market Estimate to the
applicant. If the applicant agrees with the Council’s alternative Pre-
Market Estimate, it becomes the establishment cost of the infrastructure.
(e) If agreement cannot be reached on the Pre-Market Estimate, an
independent assessor is to be appointed by agreement between the
Council Resolution effective 16 February 2015
Section 26
26
Noosa Shire Council
Charges Resolution (No. 2) 2014
Council and the applicant to determine the estimate. The cost of this
independent assessment is to be equally shared between the local
authority and the applicant and the amended cost estimate determined
by the independent assessor becomes the establishment cost of the
infrastructure.
However, if the Council and the applicant cannot reach agreement on
the appointment of an independent assessor, the establishment cost of
the infrastructure is determined by calculating the average of the
previous two cost estimates prepared on behalf of the applicant and the
Council respectively.
(2) Where a notice is given by an applicant under s. 657 of SPA requesting a
recalculation of the establishment cost for the trunk infrastructure that is land, the
recalculated amount shall be the value estimated for the land based on the pre-
approved and pre-developed state of the land as follows:
a) The applicant, at their own cost, must provide to the Council a valuation
of the specified land undertaken by a certified practicing valuer. If the
Council accepts the valuation, the valuation is the establishment cost of
the infrastructure.
(b) If the Council does not agree with the applicant’s valuation, the Council
will provide its own alternative valuation to the applicant. If the applicant
agrees with the Council’s alternative Pre-Market Estimate, it becomes
the establishment cost of the infrastructure.
(c) If agreement cannot be reached on the valuation, an independent
assessor is to be appointed by agreement between the Council and the
applicant to determine the estimate. The cost of this independent
assessment is to be equally shared between the local authority and the
applicant and the amended valuation estimate determined by the
independent assessor becomes the establishment cost of the
infrastructure.
However, if the Council and the applicant cannot reach agreement on
the appointment of an independent assessor, the establishment cost of
the infrastructure is determined by calculating the average of the
previous two valuation estimates prepared on behalf of the applicant and
the Council respectively.
12. Refund of an unused infrastructure offset
12.1 Purpose
Section 12 states the Council’s policy for a refund of an unused infrastructure offset for
provision of trunk infrastructure.

(b) the construction of the non-trunk infrastructure has not started.
Council Resolution effective 16 February 2015
Section 28
28
Noosa Shire Council
Charges Resolution (No. 2) 2014
13.3 Conversion application process
(1) An applicant may apply to the local government to convert non-trunk
infrastructure to trunk infrastructure.
(2) The application must be made in writing using the prescribed form (the
conversion application).
(3) The local government must, within the required period (see section 660 (6) of
SPA), decide the conversion application having regard to the criteria for deciding
the application stated in section 13.6.
(4) At any time before deciding the conversion application, the local government may
give a notice to the applicant requiring the applicant to give information that the
local government reasonably needs to make the decision (see section 660(4) of
the SPA for notice requirements).
13.4 Notice of decision
(1) As soon as practicable after deciding the conversion application, the local
government must give the applicant notice of the decision.
(2) If the decision is not to convert non-trunk infrastructure to trunk infrastructure, the
notice must be an information notice about the decision.
(3) If the decision is to convert non-trunk infrastructure to trunk infrastructure, the
written notice must state:
(a) that the infrastructure is trunk infrastructure
(b) if the infrastructure will be conditioned as a necessary infrastructure
condition
(c) if an offset or refund applies
(d) if an offset or refund applies, the details of that offset or refund.
13.5 Effect of conversion application decision
(1) If the local government has decided to convert non-trunk infrastructure to trunk
infrastructure, it may amend the development approval by imposing a necessary
infrastructure condition for the trunk infrastructure.
(2) If a necessary infrastructure condition is imposed, the local government must give
either an infrastructure charges notice or an amended infrastructure charges
notice including details of the offset or refund.
13.6 Criteria for deciding a conversion application
(1) Each of the following criteria must be met for non-trunk infrastructure to be
converted to trunk infrastructure :
(a) the infrastructure services development that is-
(i) consistent with the assumptions about the type, scale, location or
timing of future development stated in the LGIP; and
(ii) for premises completely inside the PIA.
Council Resolution effective 16 February 2015
Section 29
29
Noosa Shire Council
Charges Resolution (No. 2) 2014
(b) construction of the infrastructure has not yet started
(c) the infrastructure is inconsistent with the requirements for non-trunk
infrastructure stated in section 665 of the SPA
(d) the infrastructure is owned or will be owned by the local government
(e) the infrastructure is not temporary infrastructure
(f) the infrastructure will be used by other development
(g) the type, capacity and function of the infrastructure is:
(i) consistent with the trunk infrastructure identified in the local
government’s LGIP and the examples of trunk infrastructure
identified for a network in Table 13.1
(ii) inconsistent with the examples of non-trunk infrastructure identified
for a network in Table 13.1
(h) the type, size and location of the infrastructure is the most cost effective
option for servicing multiple developments in the area.
(i) the infrastructure could have been planned by the local government
without knowing the detailed layout of lot reconfigurations or the design
details for material change of use applications in the area. That is, the
infrastructure could have been planned during preparation of the LGIP
using only the planned density assumptions stated in the LGIP.
(2) The most cost effective option for trunk infrastructure provision means the least
cost option based upon the life cycle cost of the infrastructure required to service
future urban development in the area at the desired standard of service.
