Charges Schedule - Local Roads Additional Impacts
1. This condition is required because the development will impact on the local roads when vehicles associated with the operation of the accommodation facility use those local roads. The local roads additional impacts charge covers all roads in the Maranoa Regional Council Area where vehicles of the type used in this activity/use are permitted to travel. The number of accommodation units in the accommodation facility are deemed to be a proportional measure of the total traffic to and from the site.
2. A local roads additional impacts charge of $0.50 per accommodation unit per day will be paid to Maranoa Regional Council. This is the local roads additional impacts charge for the 2013-2014 financial year. Until such time as (1) the methodology is amended or (2) the level of use is changed or (3) Council has amended charges as a result of a review requested by the accommodation facility operator, the local roads additional impacts charges amount will be increased or decreased annually by a percentage equivalent to the change in All groups consumer price index for Brisbane published by the Australian Statistician.
3. The payment of the local roads additional impacts charge must be made by the accommodation facility operator within 14 days of the end of each 3 month period, with the periods starting with the commencement of the use/activity. The accommodation facility operator must calculate the payment and provide details of the calculation. If no payment is made within the set time, the Council may demand payment based on the maximum approved accommodation capacity of the activity/use divided by 4. The maximum approved accommodation capacity of the accommodation facility will be deemed to be the maximum capacity of the accommodation facility listed in the approvals for the site. If the accommodation facility operator does not pay the local roads additional impacts charge for two consecutive periods, the Council can require the holder of the development approval to pay the local roads additional impacts charge to the Council.
4. The holder of the development approval or the accommodation facility operator may ask for the local roads additional impacts charge to be reviewed once in every three year period after the approval for the activity/use was given. The review will take account of the rates and methodology applying to similar operators in the Council Area and the facts and circumstances applying to this approved activity/use.
5. The Council may review and amend the methodology for calculating the local roads additional impacts charge but any changes resulting from amendments to the methodology will not take effect for a minimum of 2 years from the date of adoption by Council unless the accommodation facility operator request earlier changes to the charges.
6. Despite the payment of a local roads additional impacts charge, the Council may stop the accommodation facility operator from using particular roads. The reasons may include Council concerns about the level of damage being caused or may be caused to those particular local roads by the addition to total road use by vehicles associated with the accommodation facility.
7. Council or its representatives is entitled to inspect, copy and audit any records which may help to prove the actual use of the road network by the accommodation facility operator or the approval holder(s) for the purposes of assessing the local roads additional impacts charge. The accommodation facility operator and the approval holder(s) have agreed by the acceptance of this condition that the Council has their agreement and permission to access those records wherever held and that their agreement and permission cannot be revoked.
8. These charges can be included within an infrastructure agreement or deed of agreement with the Council, the accommodation facility operator and any other relevant parties by consent of the parties. The accommodation facility operator, the approval holder and the Council may vary the charges and other factors by mutual consent where circumstances warrant such variations and the community interest is protected.

Subject Heading: Commerce Roma Request for Financial Support - Visual Merchandising Workshop Applicant: Commerce Roma |
|
|
Author and Officer’s Title: Ryan Gittins, Specialist - Business Development |
|
|
Executive Summary: On 11 December 2013, Council resolved to contribute $1,500 to a visual merchandising workshop through a Regional Services Program funding application (GM/12.2013/21), which is a program of Department of Tourism, Major Events, Small Business and the Commonwealth Games (DTESB).
Subsequent to this DTESB has reconsidered the program and has suggested that the funding application (and associated funds) should be devoted to a broader business support program, such as the existing Business Excellence Program which is being run in the Maranoa in conjunction with Department of State Development, Infrastructure & Planning (DSDIP), Commerce Roma, the Western Star and others. Discussions related to the proposed business support program have commenced and are ongoing; at this stage a finalised plan has not been developed.
The business community has indicated that a visual merchandising workshop is still required in the Maranoa. As such, Commerce Roma has requested that the funds originally earmarked for the Regional Services Program funding application are reallocated to support their visual merchandising workshop, scheduled for 27 & 28 May 2014.
|
|
|
Resolution No. GM/04.2014/37 Moved Cr O'Neil Seconded Cr Schefe That Council:
1. Endorse financial support for Commerce Roma’s visual merchandising workshop, subject to the condition that attendance and involvement is promoted to all businesses in the region.
2. Explore other opportunities with DTESB to implement business support initiatives in the Maranoa (as applicable).
