Frank Wilkie26:30Councillor Stockwell. Okay, put to the vote those in favour. That's carried unanimously. Thank you. Rowena, thank you Kim. Next item is the Noosa Junction Levy and Revenue Statement Amendment. Thank you ladies. Welcome Trent. Okay Trent hello Trent, would you like to give us an overview please of what we're looking at here? Good afternoon Councillors. Good afternoon.
Every year through the budget process, Council adopts the Revenue Statement as part of its annual budget. The Revenue Statement outlines and details, all our rates, levies, separate and special charges. And included in that is two levies associated with the Noosa Junction. One is the Noosa Junction Levy, which has been in place for a very long period of time, and the other is the streetscape levy, which was reintroduced this year as part of a three-year process to generate funds to undertake the master plan and design of the new streetscape. The Noosa Junction Levy itself is structured in its purpose as outlined in the overall plan that's in the Revenue Statement is to generate funds from the levy benefit area that contributes to the Junction Association to undertake a range of activities as agreed by the association and its benefit area levy ratepayers for enhancing our projects that enhance the economic activation of the area. We set that levy annually based on the amounts agreed with the association for what they need to undertake those activities and we adopted the levy as they currently stand with a broadly aligned to CPI increase this year. Now the association have approached us and indicated that they can continue to deliver their required projects and initiatives this year with the same baseline funding as they ran with last financial year. That means we do not need to collect the entire levy amount this financial year and it is proposed that we can reduce the levy for the second half of the year coming into the January rates run so that there is some marginal rates relief for those ratepayers in that levy benefit area for the second half
