Calculating Application Fees

For developments that are identified as impact assessable and inconsistent under The Noosa Plan a fee
multiplier of 3 will apply to the required fee. Where the use and/or works (or part thereof) have been carried
out without Council approval a fee multiplier of 2 will apply to the required fee.

For developments that are non-compliant with a scheme provision that is measurable such as site cover,
gross floor area/plot ratio, height in storeys/metres, and car parking number etc a fee multiplier of 1.5 will
apply to the required fee, with detached houses only charged where there are multiple non-compliances (i.e.
more than 1). A separate fee applies for consideration of setback matters (alternative siting provisions).

Request for an Application to be considered under a Superseded Planning Scheme

A request for an application to be considered under the Superseded Planning Scheme is to be accompanied
by the base fee plus the required fee.

Preliminary Approvals

Applications for a variation request as per the Planning Act 2016 shall be 125% of the fees for the applicable
uses or types of development (included predicted Reconfiguring of Lot) as for a development permit.

Combined Applications

Applications can be lodged at the same time involving more than one development type (e.g., Material
Change of Use / Reconfiguring a Lot / Operational Work). Full fees are payable for each development type
included in an application.

Material Change of Use within an Existing Building

If an application involves a Material Change of Use within an existing or approved building, the application
shall be discounted by 25%, subject to the proposed use being identified as a consistent use with the site’s
zoning. The discount shall not apply to short term accommodation in existing dwellings.

Undefined Use Applications

Where an application involves a use that is not defined in the applicable Planning Scheme or is not specifically
provided for in the Schedule of Fees and the use or application could not reasonably be included in a category
that is provided in the Schedule of Fees, Director Development and Regulation shall determine the fee.

Consultants Costs

The cost of external consultant's fees for any further assessment or advice required by Council in
consideration of any application or submission and / or technical report will be charged to the applicant,
including re-submissions. The cost must be paid prior to the issue of a Confirmation Notice otherwise the
application will be considered “not properly made” until the quoted amount is paid. A written quote from the
consultant will be obtained and provided to the applicant.

Appointment for Prelodgement Meeting

This service is to identify and provide preliminary advice on major issues related to a development proposal
and to explain application processes to proponents. The appointment will be booked upon lodgement of an
application form and payment of the administration fee.
