PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                            10 NOVEMBER 2015




Waiver or Partial Waiver of Development Application Charges

Council’s adopted Fees and Charges include a provision for the Director, Planning and
Infrastructure to “partially or wholly waive a development fee where strict application of the
schedule fee is obviously unreasonable for the type of application being received.”

The tables below set out a summary of each application where a waiver or partial waiver of the
development application fees was granted for the period 1 June 2015 to 30 September 2015.

MCU15/0085         Forge             The application will be   $24,415.00         $9,766.00
                   Transport Ltd     to seek retrospective
                                     approval for a shed
                                     constructed on the
                                     property at 44
                                     Nandroya Rd, Cooroy.
The applicant is seeking retrospective approval for a shed already constructed on the property,
in conjunction with an impact assessable application for Transport Type 3 – Depot. The relevant
fee in the Schedule of Fees & Charges is $4,883. However section 1.6 calls for a x 2 multiplier
where work has been carried out without an approval and also a x 3 multiplier for an inconsistent
use.
The Transport Depot use is lawful with a planning consent previously given in the 1980s
therefore it is recommended that only the x 2 multiplier be imposed. This reduces the fee to
$9,766 which is considered to be more relevant taking into account the existing approved use.
