Payment of Fees and Lodgement of Applications

Subsidy For Community, Sporting and Religious Organisations

Council's policy for waiver of fees for non-profit community organisations recognises the importance of the
community facilities which are provided and maintained by non-profit organisations for the benefit of the wider
community.

Council seeks to provide financial assistance to these organisations on a "needs" basis. Any non-profit,
volunteer, charitable, community, sporting, religious organisation not in possession of a permanent liquor or
gaming licence is eligible for a 50% reduction in development application fees (including any prelodgement
meetings).

A request for a reduction in application fees should be made in writing and accompany the application. The
request must demonstrate the eligibility of the applicant as a community, sporting or religious organisation.
At the time of lodgement of the application, the organisation must provide verifiable written proof that the
organisation is either registered with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as a charitable / non profit
organisation, or alternatively registered with the Office of Fair Trading under either the Associations
Incorporation Act or Corporations Act.

Waiver of Development Application Charges

The Director Development and Regulation has delegated authority to determine to partially or wholly waive
a Development Application Fee where strict application of the scheduled fee is obviously unreasonable for
the type of application being received.

Refunds

If a request/application is withdrawn/lapses before it is decided by Council, a refund will be given depending
on the processing stage at the time of withdrawal as follows:

90% Application Stage
80% Application Stage (After Confirmation Notice has been issued)
60% Information and Referral Stage
30% Notification Stage
10% Decision Stage

No refund is applicable once a decision has been issued by the Council.

Where a request/application for any matter is withdrawn, an administration fee will also be retained.
