Frank Wilkie7:55Okay, good morning Councillors. The morning this, the act requires Councillors to have a charges resolution to be able to issue charges on development as they get approved. This Council's charges resolution is this update is just a basic update to bring it in line with the recent indexation that the State did to the planning regulation. And it, yeah, it's, it just makes it more transparent. And it has been updated quite a number of times, as you can see within the number of reports to Council over the years. So basically, it sets the level of charges at the current 2024-25 rates. There's been no changes in the apportionments of charges. Or reductions to items that Council has previously applied. So it's basically just an indexation update. Thank you.
Amelia Lorentson7:35Media, sorry, we've got Lourdes online welcome to the planning environment, Lourdes. I'll pass it over to you if you can give the committee and anyone watching today just an overview or summary of the infrastructure charges resolution.
Frank Wilkie10:02Uh, no. No, that's been an ongoing issue for quite a few years. The State sets the charges, the maximum charge, under the regulation. The charges are not linked to councils' LGIP, and because of that, the charges, yeah, well, they're about, I think the last few years, the revenue from infrastructure charges has accounted 20% of the actual Council's, you know, trunk infrastructure spend. I believe there is a, resolution or something going to the State upcoming to actually contest that issue and the LGAQ has done a massive report which clearly shows that all the infrastructure charges across the State are not keeping up and not, you know, adequately, you know, paying for the trunk infrastructure for which they're collecting.
Amelia Lorentson7:09Thank you. Grabbed report. Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Tom. Next report for consideration of the committee is item 5.2, update to infrastructure and charges.
