Infrastructure charges resolution
The Council of the City of Gold Coast Charges Resolution (Charges Resolution) is our current infrastructure charging regime and applies to developments approved from 1 July 2015. Although the Charges Resolution is not part of the planning scheme, it is attached to it. Its purpose is to set out how and when infrastructure charges will be applied to City development. It also provides required sections dealing with:
- criteria for deciding conversion applications
- methodology for valuing trunk infrastructure for offsets and refunds
- details of applicable credits.
Charges Resolution, 'No. 1 of 2022' is effective from 9 September 2022 and relevant for development approvals from that date. It replaces the existing Council of the City of Gold Coast Charges Resolution (No.1) of 2019.
Changes to the Charges Resolution have been made to:
- align with the Planning Act 2016
- align the maximum adopted charge rates with the maximum adopted charge rates set out in the Planning Regulation 2017.
Full details are contained in the Charges Resolution (No.1) of 2022 below.
History
The creation of the Charges Resolution was a requirement of legislative changes arising from the Sustainable Planning (Infrastructure Charges) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2014 (SPICOLA). The Charges Resolution supersedes the Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution v1.4 as the framework for infrastructure charging within the City of Gold Coast.
Amendments to the Charges Resolution are listed below.
