                                         Noosa Shire Council
                                    Charges Resolution (No. 2) 2014



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)
        as permitted under the legislation. The automatic increase provision is applied as follows:

        (1)      The infrastructure charge is first calculated using the adopted charge rates in
                 section 10 at the base date of 1 July 2014 (applying the Consumer Price Index at
                 March 2014) and indexed to the date 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 using variations in the Consumer Price Index at the times
                 applicable limited to the “maximum amount” possible to be issued under the State
                 Planning Regulatory Provision (adopted charges) as amended by the Minister
                 and in accordance with the legislation at the time of issue and payment.


  10.         Allocation of         adopted           infrastructure          charge    (breakup
              agreement)
10.1    Purpose

        Section 10 states how the adopted infrastructure charge of the Council and the distributor-
        retailer is to be allocated in accordance with the breakup agreement.

10.2    Allocation of adopted infrastructure charge to the Council and the distributor-
        retailer (breakup agreement)

        (1)      The proportion of an adopted infrastructure charge to be allocated to the Council
                 and the distributor-retailer is stated in Table 10.1 (Allocation of adopted
                 infrastructure charge (breakup agreement) to the Council and the distributor-
                 retailer). For non-residential development, this proportion of the adopted charge
                 excludes the stormwater network which is calculated separately and allocated
                 100% to Council.

        (2)      The levied charge is calculated and issued separately by the Council and
                 distributor-retailer as applying to their respective infrastructure networks in
                 accordance with the breakup agreement.

        (3)      Where development is not connected to the water and sewerage networks, the
                 levied charge issued by distributor-retailer is reduced as determined by the
                 distributor-retailer.
