Subject Heading: Proposed changes to Organisational Structure & potential appointments to new positions Location: Maranoa Regional Council |
|
Author and Officer’s Title: Julie Reitano, Chief Executive Officer |
|
Executive Summary: Following a review of the outcomes of the recent Councillor Retreat, initial observations and discussions with MRC team members and the Directors, it is proposed that some early changes be made to the organisational structure. The report also identifies the obvious gaps in resourcing for key areas of Council’s operations, which in a large part explains a number of the issues MRC is dealing with.
The focus of the report was to seek the elected members’ views prior to rolling out the proposal for broader consultation with the MRC work teams. It also sought Council’s approval for the CEO to commence the search for the specific skill sets identified in the report.
The areas considered for initial structural and resourcing changes, and consultation, were: Customer Service Facilitation Quarry, Saleyards, Airport Strategy, Major Projects, Economic Development & Tourism Governance & Organisational Development Waste Facilities (including Bassett Park) Conduct & Integrity Management Corporate Applications Support Intranet Project Management
|
|
Resolution No. GM.288.12 Moved Cr Price Seconded Cr Denton That Council: 1. Give in-principle support to the CEO consulting more widely with the teams on the proposed initial changes to the organisational structure, with a follow-up report to Council in two weeks. 2. Authorise the CEO to make immediate enquiries and/or advertise for the following skillsets (being open to the basis upon which these skills are attracted and retained): (a) IT Specialist Corporate Application skills and experience preferably with Authority (our Council Business System) & Trim (our Document Management System) and their integration. The aim is to source the following resources for concurrent projects – i.e. Property based modules like Planning & Building and Financial modules: - a minimum of 1 full-time resource to be available to MRC - also to act as mentor to the current MRC staff member (ex-Finance); - a fixed term resource to work with MRC; - a possible knowledge sharing arrangement with a Council who is a longer term user of the products – to also become a contact point for the new Corporate Applications Officer. (b) Sharepoint Development skills (Intranet) with a view to: - the person working with each of the upcoming Process Review projects to incorporate the results into a new Intranet (on a staged basis); - having a Sharepoint mentor for the new IT Corporate Applications officer once recruited; - ensuring that the intranet becomes the primary communication tool within Council (available immediately upon initial log-on each day; not as a separate ‘program’); - facilitating the decentralisation of information updates, so that key officers within MRC can update event information (e.g. Community Development Officers) rather than having to wait on other individuals or companies to process the request (the current actioning can sometimes occur after the event). (c) Business Analyst/Process Mapping Skills to assist MRC in documenting and reviewing processes, and building skills within MRC. 3. Endorse the transition and mentoring arrangements to set up operations and train a new Manager for the Airport (Internal Appointment). 4. Endorse the use of external resources for Conduct and Integrity reviews, and the set up of processes by the CEO for MRC. 5. Endorse the CEO pursuing opportunities to introduce robust project management methodologies within MRC. Further that formal processes be progressively developed incorporating, for example: - Agreed stakeholder engagement processes; - Agreed communication plans – what happens at what stage; - Benefits monitoring and realisation; and - Incorporation of lessons learnt to inform future projects. 6. Endorse the immediate advertising for an Environmental Health Officer.

Body of Report:
The Darling Downs South West Queensland Medicare Local (DDSWQML) became operational from 1 April 2012. This followed its establishment by the Australian Government as part of a network of Medicare Locals throughout Australia to coordinate primary health care delivery, tackle local health care needs and service gaps, drive improvements in primary health care and ensure that services are better tailored to meet the needs of local communities.
DDSWQML has been established as a not-for-profit charity with Public Benevolent Institution Status. Membership of the Medicare Local is open to organisations and individuals who are supportive of the strategic objectives of the Company. Foundation members include a range of primary health care organisations operating in the region: GP Connections, Blue Care, the University of Southern Queensland, the Queensland Aboriginal & Islander Health Council, Centacare, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (QLD Section) and RHealth. The Board of Directors is comprised of clinicians from throughout the region as well as people with specific skills to address the planning and delivery of better primary health care services in the Darling Downs and South West Queensland.
DDSWQML wrote to Council requesting the organisations develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance primary health care outcomes for the Maranoa region.
Section 4 (Activities) of the MOU closely aligns with specific sections of the Maranoa Community Plan as outlined in the document.

1. PREAMBLE:
Australians generally have good health outcomes, with high life expectancy and a health care system that is considered world class. However, there are some aspects of the health care system that are fragmented and, as a result, patients can experience uncoordinated and unintegrated care, including within and across the primary health care sector, acute sector, aged care and specialist care. This fragmentation and poor coordination can lead to some people missing out on services that would deliver improved health outcomes, or result in patients receiving their treatment in inappropriate settings.
Medicare Locals are expected to engage with a wide range of health professionals and organisations; identify community primary health care needs; and work to fill the gaps in primary health care in their area.
The establishment of Medicare Locals is part of the broader Commonwealth plan to ensure a greater focus on primary health care, including:
• Fast-tracking the after hours GP care reform to allow patients to receive face-to-face GP services outside normal operational hours;
• driving telehealth services via Medicare Locals enabling Australians to receive health services at home;
• implementing new program arrangements through a single funding agreement, giving Medicare Locals flexibility to address areas of need in their local communities; and
• providing Medicare Locals with the potential over time to manage more flexible funding to target services to meet gaps in service provision in order to meet their local community’s specific needs.
2. THE AGREEMENT:
2.1 The parties agree to explore an enhanced relationship based on an equal partnership of mutual respect and understanding, in order to improve primary health care delivery in the region, with a view to achieving quality patient outcomes in the most equitable, efficient and cost-effective way.
2.2 The parties agree to establish and support a joint process to achieve mutually agreed guiding principles. The objectives listed at point 3 will be reviewed and evaluated at yearly intervals.
2.3 The relationship is two-way, seeking to make the most effective use of resources available to the Maranoa Regional Council and the Medicare Local. Early consultation and the development of new strategies and mutual involvement in reviewing existing operations will be actively pursued.
2.4 The parties agree to pursue a range of integrated activities where appropriate to improve health outcomes in the community.
2.5 Maranoa Regional Council and the Medicare Local accept shared responsibility for negotiating and developing communication processes that enhance primary health care delivery in the region. These processes may involve communication with other relevant organisations where it is deemed appropriate.
2.6 This Memorandum of Understanding is not legally binding on either or both parties.
3. OBJECTIVES:
3.1 Ensure primary health care services and health infrastructure is delivered with equity;
3.2 Work collectively to systematically address the social determinants that impact on achieving health equality for the community ;

3.4 Support and develop health services in regional, rural and remote areas in order to achieve lasting improvements in community health and wellbeing;

Body of Report:
As a result of the consultation process for the Maranoa Community Plan 2020, a need was identified by community members in relation to learning more about modern technology and how it could be used in every day living.
To celebrate Seniors Week 2012 “Seniors Connect”, the Community Development Team organised a series of information sessions to be delivered across the region to support our seniors in keeping connected with family and friends. Maranoa Regional Council partnered with the following organisations to successfully deliver the sessions – Telstra Shop Roma, National Australia Bank– Mitchell, University of the 3rd Age and Colleen McIntosh.
“Seniors Connect” consisted of six sessions, delivered in the communities of Roma, Surat, Wallumbilla, Jackson, Mitchell and Injune. The sessions were of 2 hours duration and were offered free of charge to residents 50+. The content delivered covered a diverse mix of technologies, from learning how to operate computers, e-mail and internet, to the basics on using mobile phones, kindles and tablets.
The Program was well received by our communities with 71 seniors attending the sessions across the region. Feedback received from participants was extremely positive and a selection of this feedback has been enclosed within the body of this report for your information. The success of this program also resulted in positive media for Maranoa Regional Council in as The Western Star.
The program was communicated throughout our region by use of the following:
· Editorial coverage
· Posters on community notice boards

· Newspaper Advertising
· On-air radio interview
· Face-book Page
· Maranoa Regional Council Website
· Maranoa Regional Council Messages on Hold
· Email to community contact list
· All Staff internal communications
To assist with the financial commitments required to deliver this program, Maranoa Regional Council were successful in their application to the State Government for funding and subsequently received an amount of $3,350.00 to assist with the implementation of this Program.

Subject Heading: Acquisition of part of Lot 334 on CP880097
Classification: Open Access
Name of Applicant: Department of Transport and Main Roads
Location: Tiffin Street Roma
Author & Officer’s Title: Tanya Mansfield, Manager Risk and Facilities
Executive Summary: Council has received correspondence from the Department of Transport and Main Roads advising that the department intends to apply to the Department of Natural Resources and Mines to have part of Lot 334 on Plan CP880097 included in the operational reserve being lot 9 on CP880097 under the Land Act 1994. Lot 334 on CP88097 is a Local Government Reserve (pound) with Maranoa Regional Council as the trustee.
|
That Council offer no objections to the request from the Department of Transport and Main Roads to incorporate the part of Lot 334 on CP880097 shown on the attached map into the operational reserve known as Lot 9 on CP880097 on the condition that the Department of Transport and Main Roads fence the land and Council furthermore advise that the balance of Lot 334 on CP880097 is still required by Council for its gazetted purpose as a Local Government Reserve (pound)
|
Body of Report:
The Department of Transport and Main Roads have formally indicated to Council its intentions to apply to the Department of Natural Resource and Mines to have part of Lot 334 on CP880097 a local government (pound) reserve incorporated into the Operational Reserve being Lot 9 on CP880097 a reserve managed by the Department of Main Roads.
Discussions have been held with the Manager of Environment Kay Crosby who has indicated that the part of Lot 334 on CP880097 that the Department wishes to acquire does not house any infrastructure and the Council dog pound and stock yards which are actively utilised by Council’s local laws team are located on another part of the lot. This land also houses a gravel pit/sand stock pile at the rear of the lot. The proposal will not cause any issues with access to the allotment.
It is recommended that Council offer no objection to the proposal by the Department of Transport and Main Roads to amalgamate part of Lot 334 and Lot 9 on CP880097 on the condition that the Department of Transport and Main Road fence the land.

Subject Heading: Trustee Lease Yuleba Racecourse Reserve
Classification: Open Access
Name of Applicant: Bendemere Pony Club
Location: Lot 47 on CP WV1371 - Yuleba to Taroom Road, Yuleba
Author & Officer’s Title: Tanya Mansfield, Manager Risk and Facilities
Executive Summary: The Bendemere Pony Club is interested in securing a formal agreement with Council in regard to the racecourse reserve at Yuleba being Lot 47 on CP WV1371. As this land is a reserve with Council as the trustee, to formalise this arrangement it will be necessary to negotiate a trustee lease with the Bendemere Pony Club.
|
Council enter into a trustee lease with the Bendemere Pony Club over part of Lot 47 on WV1371, with the lease area to encompass the currently utilised grounds and Council to incur all costs associated with surveying, drafting of legal documents and lodgement costs.
|
Body of Report:
The racecourse reserve in Yuleba is a reserve for recreational purposes gazetted in 1969. Council are the trustees of the reserve. The Bendemere Pony Club has expressed interest in entering a formal agreement with Council in respect of the land.
The Bendemere Pony Club have used part of the racecourse reserve in Yuleba for many years for rally days and have been fortunate to obtain a grant to erect a safety fence on the grounds. This fence separates competitors and vehicles/spectators.
Discussions have been held with the Department Natural Resources Mines who have advised Council that as the Bendemere Pony Club are planning to construct infrastructure on the land, a trustee lease is the most appropriate way to execute a formal agreement between Council and the club. As a trustee lease must be approved by the Department Natural Resources Mines, the department has mandatory terms that must be included in each lease. These terms guide the content of all trustee leases.
The reserve is 63.182 hectares. While the club are seeking a trustee lease over the whole reserve, Council may wish to consider surveying off a section of the reserve for trustee leasing to the Bendemere Pony Club. Council’s Manager of Environmental Health has advised that the resulting balance of the reserve has areas that are susceptible to flooding. The reserve also has an infestation of noxious weed that needs to be treated.
There are no other anticipated demands for this parcel of land.
Consultation (internal/external):
Janine York, Lands Officer Department of Environment and Resource Management
Iris Aldridge, Bendemere Pony Club
Kay Crosby, Manager Environmental Health
Fiona Vincent, Coordinator Sport and Recreation
Risk Assessment (Legal, Financial, Political etc.):
A trustee lease will assist in managing Council’s risk. The agreement will detail the responsibilities of both parties being Council and the Bendemere Pony Club.
Policy Implications:
A trustee lease is the appropriate legal instrument by which to enter a formal agreement with an occupant over a reserve for which Council is trustee. It is anticipated that other sporting and community organisations that occupy Council land will also seek to enter formal arrangements with Council to provide security of tenure.
Financial Resource Implications:
Development of a trustee lease will incur legal costs, lodgement fees and surveying costs. As the Bendemere Pony Club has limited financial resources, Council is requested to incur the costs.

Subject Heading: Maranoa River Bridge Replacement - Acquisition of Reserve Land
Classification: Open Access
Name of Applicant: Department of Transport and Main Roads
Location: Lot 128 on Crown Plan DL500, Lot 1 on Crown Plan M15129, Lot 41 on M15114 and Lot 1 on M15141
Author & Officer’s Title: Tanya Mansfield, Manager Risk and Facilities
Executive Summary: The Department of Transport and Main Roads has advised Council that the Maranoa River Bridge Replacement Project will require acquisition of parts of Lot 128 on Crown Plan DL500 (Camping and Water Reserve), Lot 1 on Crown Plan M15129 (Local Government Reserve), Lot 41 on M15114 (freehold land) and Lot 1 on M15141 (Recreation and Camping Reserve). The Department requires Council to advise whether it has any objection to resumption of this land.
|

|
Body of Report:
The Department of Transport and Main Roads has advised Council that the Maranoa River Bridge Replacement Project will require acquisition of Reserve land. Council is the trustee of the Reserve land and there is also a portion of the freehold land owned by Council that is leased to Wagoutback Investments Pty Ltd.
Detail of land being resumed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads is detailed in the table below:-
Lot and Plan |
Current Use of Land |
Land Required |
Land Remaining |
Lot 128 on Crown Plan DL500 |
Camping and Water Reserve (river bank eastern side of river) |

463.6 square metres |
2.319 hectares |
Lot 41 on Crown Plan M15114 |
Freehold (Caravan Park). Current lease to Wagoutback Investments |
335.8 square metres |
|
Lot 1 on M15141 |
Recreation and Camping Reserve (part of Caravan Park and parking/ monument area) |
1347 square metres |
1.209 hectares |
The Department of Transport and Main Roads have provided Council with a Notice of Intention to Resume under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967, Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 and Transport Planning and Coordination Act 1994.
Council is required to advise the Department of Transport and Main Roads if it has any objection to the resumption of the land. Objections must be in writing, be made within the time specified, state Council’s grounds for objection with supporting details and state whether Council wishes to be heard in support of the objection.
Objections can be based on issues such as need for the project, the location of the infrastructure, access after the project is finished, noise issues and any other issues that landowners see as affecting their property. Under the Act, compensation is not a valid objection issues. All costs incurred as a result of the transfer will be met by the Department of Transport and Main Roads.
If Council chooses not to object to the resumption, Council may sign an agreement to the taking of the land. Signing an agreement to the taking of land does not affect Council’s rights to claim compensation. Council can claim compensation as they have a legal interest in the land. Under the Act a claim for compensation must be served on the Department within three years from the day the Taking of Land Notice is published in the gazette.
This transfer of land from Lot 41 on M15114 (Recreation and Camping Reserve) will remove the current parking area and Major Mitchell Monument sited at the front of the Major Mitchell Caravan Park. Council staff have met with representatives of the Department of Transport and Main Roads and nominated another site on the western side of the Maranoa River Bridge on which to locate the Major Mitchell monument. This new site is near the Mitchell Swimming Pool.
This parking area/monument site also houses a block wall which has no known historical significance on which plaques of various community organisations including Queensland Country Women’s Association, Artslink Queensland, Rotary and Alcoholics Anonymous are placed. It is not planned to relocate the wall and it will be demolished as part of the bridge construction. Council may be requested by community organisations to construct a structure at another location for community organisations to install their plaques. If such a proposal was received and agreed to, this would be at a cost to Council.
Consultation (internal/external):
Matthew McGoldrick, Director Corporate Services
Kay Crosby, Manager Environment
Jane Fenton, Community Development Coordinator Mitchell
Risk Assessment (Legal, Financial, Political etc.):
There is a political risk if Council is viewed as delaying the Mitchell Bridge Replacement Project.
The current lessees of the Major Mitchell Caravan Park may opt to seek compensation from Council in regard to loss of caravan park land.
Limited information has been provided to Council in regard to the impact (if any) on parking at the front of the Mitchell Swimming Pool, Mitchell Shire Hall and Great Artesian Spa. If any parking area is lost, Council may need to develop a parking area including installation of an all weather parking surface at the rear of the Shire Hall
Policy Implications:
Nil
Financial Resource Implications:
This proposal has potential financial implications to Council if the lessees of the Major Mitchell Caravan Park seek compensation for loss of land or if alternative parking arrangements are required for the Shire Hall, Mitchell Pool and Great Artesian Spa.

Subject Heading: Draft Road Naming Policy
Classification: Open Access
Name of Applicant:
Location:
Author & Officer’s Title: Kim Edwards, GIS/CAD Officer
Executive Summary: The adoption of a road naming policy ensures the naming of roads within the region is appropriate, that names will stand the test of time, and where suitable will preferably be of local or historical significance. The aim of the policy is to provide consistent guidelines for developers, the community and Council when allocating new road names or changing the name of existing roads within the region.
|
That Council adopts the draft Road Naming Policy as presented.
|
Body of Report:
There is currently no adopted policy or set guidelines that outlines the procedures which should take place when naming roads within the region. In the past Council has named roads by taking into account their historical significance, for example, the original settlers, families that have been in the area for an extended period of time or families that now reside in the area.
The draft policy provides guidelines for naming new roads or renaming existing roads within the Maranoa Regional Council in a consistent manner, and in accordance with relevant standards. It aims to ensure unique road names throughout the region that are easy to read and pronounce, which avoid confusion between roads, and that continue to reflect local heritage or landscape characteristics.
The policy will provide a consistent and equitable protocol to follow when naming roads.

Executive Summary: Consideration is sought in relation to Council’s financial contribution to Southern Queensland Country Tourism for the 2012/13 financial year.
|
That Council endorses a per-capita payment of $1.15 to Southern Queensland Country Tourism (SQCT) for the 2012/13 financial year. Written confirmation of Council’s resolution will subsequently be provided to SQCT.
|
Body of Report:
Southern Queensland Country Tourism (SQCT) has requested written confirmation of Council’s financial contribution for the 2012/13 financial year. This confirmation (in the form of Council resolution and subsequent written confirmation) is required before a partnership agreement can be formalised.
After consultation between Council and SQCT it has been determined that a per-capita contribution of $1.15 would be suitable. According to the 2011 census data the Maranoa Region has a residential population of 13,076. In view of this information, Maranoa’s contribution would total approximately $15,037.
This is the first year in which the Regional Tourism Office will be funded on a per-capita basis. This change will result in a modest expense increase from the fee of $12,145 paid for the 2011/12 financial year.

1.0 Background information
The proposed development is for “Extractive Industry”, being a gravel pit for the extraction of gravel for civil construction tasks. The proposed development includes ERA 16(2b) Extractive and Screening Activities.
The proposed development will be located within a small area towards the middle of the site. The proposed development will involve the extraction of between 15,000-20,000 tonnes of gravel per annum, and constitutes ERA 16(2b) Extractive and Screening Activities.
Motor vehicle access to the site will be obtained from one crossover to the Carnarvon Highway to the north-east of the site.
The applicant has applied for operation of the development from Monday to Saturday, 7.00am to 5.30pm. The site will only be operated on a continuous basis within these operating hours approximately 8-10 days per year, when a bulldozer is used to stockpile material. On all other days the site will only be attended when trucks collect the material.
Nuisance resulting from dust, light and noise will be mitigated through site management plans and the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection conditions of development for the Environmentally Relevant Activity. It is considered that these measures, in conjunction with the recommended conditions of approval and limited operating hours, will sufficiently mitigate the adverse impacts of the development on the surrounding area.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) and Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) are Concurrence Agencies for the proposed development. DTMR and DEHP imposed conditions of development approval for the proposed use (Attachments 2 and 3).
The applicant has provided the following Proposal Plans in support of the proposed development –

3.0 Assessment against the planning scheme
Impact assessment
This application is subject to Impact Assessment and is assessed against the relevant provisions of the planning scheme, including any relevant codes. The provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 [SPA] may be summarized: s313 provides that the assessment manager must carry out the impact assessment having regard to—
(a) the State planning regulatory provisions;
(b) the regional plan for a designated region, to the extent it is not identified in the planning scheme as being appropriately reflected in the planning scheme;
(c) any applicable codes, other than concurrence agency codes the assessment manager does not apply, that are identified as a code for IDAS under this or another Act;
(d) State planning policies, to the extent the policies are not
a) any relevant regional plan as being appropriately reflected in the regional plan; or
b) the planning scheme as being appropriately reflected in the planning scheme;
(e) any applicable codes in the following instruments—
(i) a structure plan;
(ii) a master plan;
(iii) a temporary local planning instrument;
(iv) a preliminary approval to which section 242 applies;
(v) a planning scheme;
(f) if the assessment manager is an infrastructure provider—the priority infrastructure plan.
There is no conflict with these provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
Proposed use in conflict with planning scheme
Although the planning scheme requires that the proposed development is assessed against the Impact Assessable provisions of the planning scheme, the development proposed does not conflict with the intent of the planning scheme for the zone in which it is to be located.
Desired Environmental Outcome
The Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs) are based on ecological sustainability established by IPA and continued under SPA and are the basis for the measures of the planning scheme. Compliance is outlined below:
(a) Environment
(i) The areas of high scenic amenity, remnant vegetation, wetlands, fauna habitats and wildlife corridors and regionally significant open space in the Shire are protected.
The site is not mapped as containing protected or environmentally significant areas. The proposed development will not result in the removal of any vegetation, or impact on any other adjoining environmentally significant areas, including wetlands, habitats, corridors and open spaces.
(ii) Places, areas or sites identified as being susceptible to land degradation, including contamination, erosion, salinity and landslip, are protected and further degradation is minimised.

Officer Report
Meeting: General 26 September 2012 |
Date: 23 July 2012 |
Item Number: 15.3 |
File Number: D12/21728 |
Subject Heading: Adoption of charges for trunk infrastructure for the Roma, Bungil, Bendemere, Booringa and Warroo Planning Schemes.
Classification: Open Access
Name of Applicant: N/A
Location: Priority Infrastructure Areas of Roma, Wallumbilla, Yuleba, Injune, Mitchell and Surat.
Author & Officer’s Title: Danielle Pearn, Planning & Development Officer
Executive Summary:
The Queensland Government introduced a maximum infrastructure charging framework for residential and non-residential development under the Sustainable Planning Act, 2009 (SPA) and Draft State planning regulatory provision (adopted charges) (Draft SPRP) in 2011. The Draft SPRP came into effect on 1 July 2011.
In response the Council has resolved to adopt charges towards the end of 2011.
However, the Draft SPRP has expired on 30 June 2012. To ensure local governments retain the ability to levy infrastructure charges, the Deputy Premier, Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning recently made the State planning regulatory provision (adopted charges) 2012 (SPRP 2012).
The key changes to the SPRP include measures to ensure local governments have the ability to levy charges for ‘non-resident workforce accommodation’ (including mining camps).
The Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning has written to Councils to encourage it to adopt a new resolution to ensure that infrastructure charges levied are consistent with the SPRP 2012.
The changes are administrative and the charge amounts remain the same as the existing resolutions under the Draft SPRP. Where new land use classes have been included the adopted charge has been calculated to be consistent with existing charges.
The resolutions also amend the provisions relating to discounts for existing lawful uses to enable the Council to secure a reasonable contribution for trunk infrastructure for development proposals outside the Residential Zone where an infrastructure charge has not previously been levied.
The charges will be reviewed for adoption for the Priority Infrastructure Plans currently being developed for the new Maranoa Planning Scheme.
|
The Council adopt the amended trunk infrastructure charges in accordance with the resolutions in Appendices 1-5
|
Body of Report:
Refer to Attachment 1.
Consultation (internal/external):
Plan Associates as part of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT PLANNING ALLIANCE.
Risk Assessment (Legal, Financial, Political etc.):
Under Section 88 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA), a planning scheme is required to include a priority infrastructure plan (PIP). However, in the interim maximum adopted charges apply under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) and Draft State planning regulatory provision (adopted charges) (Draft SPRP) unless Councils that have PIA’s in place resolve to vary charge levels up to the maximum adopted charge for trunk infrastructure.
Policy Implications:
The changes are administrative and the charge amounts remain the same as the existing resolutions under the Draft SPRP. Where new land use classes have been included the adopted charge has been calculated to be consistent with existing charges.
Financial Resource Implications:
Adopting trunk infrastructure charges will enable the Council to recover most, if not the total cost of trunk infrastructure.

1. Background
Trunk infrastructure is ‘higher order’ development infrastructure planned, funded and provided by local governments and shared between developments. In other words it is infrastructure that serves more than one lot and whole streets, suburbs and towns and typically includes the water, sewerage, transport, stormwater management and parks and community facilities detailed in Table 1 below:
Table 1: Trunk infrastructure networks, systems and items

By making a contribution towards trunk infrastructure new development effectively “buys into” existing, and pays its fair share of the cost of providing the additional, or new infrastructure required to service that development.
Under Section 88 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA), a planning scheme is required to include a priority infrastructure plan (PIP).
Until a PIP is included in a planning scheme Councils are required to make use of adopted charges under a State planning regulatory provision (SPRP).
2. Situation in Maranoa Regional Council
The Council is well advanced with the process of making a PIP which will be included in the new planning scheme for the Maranoa Regional Council.
Pending the inclusion of a PIP in the new planning scheme, the Council currently has resolutions in place under the Draft State planning regulatory provision (adopted charges) which enables it to charge for trunk infrastructure.
However, the Draft SPRP has expired on 30 June 2012. To ensure local governments retain the ability to levy infrastructure charges, the Deputy Premier, Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, recently made the State planning regulatory provision (adopted charges) 2012 (SPRP 2012).
The Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning has written to Councils to encourage it to adopt a new resolution to ensure that infrastructure charges levied are consistent with the SPRP 2012.
Also, as part of the finalisation of the SPRP, feedback received from stakeholders was considered by the Department. Subsequently the following amendments have been made to the SPRP:
· changes to Schedule 1 of the SPRP to move ‘non-resident workforce accommodation’ from the ‘Minor uses’ charge category to ‘Specialised uses’. This amendment ensures local governments have the ability to levy charges for ‘non-resident workforce accommodation’ (including mining camps);
· clarification in Schedule 1 of the SPRP regarding the methodology for determining infrastructure charges for ‘Accommodation (short-term)’ and ‘Accommodation (long-term)’ development;
· updating of priority infrastructure area maps as requested by local governments; and
· grammatical amendments to clarify the purpose, intent and operation of the SPRP.
3. Current charge levels for Maranoa Regional Council
The maximum adopted charge is currently set at $28,000 for a 3 bedroom house.
However, the Council has discounted the maximum charges for urban centres of the size and with the function of Roma and Wallumbilla, Yuleba, Injune, Mitchell and Surat as follows:
1. A 25% discount or 75% of the maximum adopted charge for the Roma Priority Infrastructure Area (PIA). This translates into a reduction of $7,000 for a three bedroom house to an amount of $21,000.
2. A 50% discount or 50% of the maximum adopted charge for the Wallumbilla, Yuleba, Injune, Mitchell and Surat PIA’s. This translates into a reduction of $14,000 for a three bedroom house to an amount of $14,000.
This advice is supported by Table 2 below which cites the charges adopted by local governments similar to Maranoa Regional Council.
Table 2: Maximum Charges Adopted by similar Councils

Adopted Charge: Large Town |
Adopted Charge: Smaller Towns |

These proposed discount rates have been applied pro-rata to the other land uses in the respective PIA’s and are reflected in the schedule in Table 2 of the resolutions.
The charges will be reviewed for adoption for the Priority Infrastructure Plan currently being developed for the new Maranoa Planning Scheme.
4. Calculation of adopted infrastructure charge
The adopted infrastructure charge is to be calculated as follows:
AIC = AC –D
Where:
· AIC is the adopted infrastructure charge that may be levied for development;
· AC is the adopted charge for the trunk infrastructure networks to service the development stated in stated in Table 2 of the resolutions; and
· D is the discount for the trunk infrastructure networks servicing the premises stated in the resolutions.
Regarding the latter, the resolutions make provision for a credit to be applied where:
· A contribution for trunk infrastructure has already been made in respect of an existing lawful use.
· The proposed development is not to be connected to a specific trunk infrastructure network.
Regarding the latter, all development in all the PIA’s are expected to be serviced by at least the stormwater, transport and parks and community land networks for trunk infrastructure. The proposed indicative percentage breakdown of the total charge for the purposes of determining a credit for non-connection to the water or sewerage supply is below:
Water supply network: 30% of total charge
Sewerage network: 20% of total charge
If for example a development for a three bed roomed house in Roma does not connect to the water network a credit of 30% of the total adopted charge ($6,300-00) will apply.
It should be noted that trunk infrastructure for sewerage is not provided in the Wallumbilla and Yuleba PIA’s of the former Bendemere Shire. Consequently, a 20% discount for development in these two PIA’s has been built into the adopted charges in Table 2 of the Bendemere Adopted Charges Resolution.
6 Amendment of discount provisions
The provisions in the resolutions regarding credit for existing/lawful land uses currently have the implication that a nil charge generally apply for industrial development in the Industry Zone under the Roma Planning Scheme. As a result, the Council have been unable to levy charges totalling several hundred thousand dollars to date.
The principle underpinning this that a Council cannot "double dip" - a contribution for trunk infrastructure commensurate with the use categories in the Industrial Zone is assumed to been levied in the past when the land was first developed. Council cannot levy a trunk infrastructure charge again if the use remains "Industrial".
The same situation may apply for other applications such as commercial development in the Commercial Zone under the Roma Planning Scheme.
However, Section 648D (d) of the Act confers the discretion on local governments to address the issue of credits as they see fit. As such Council is at liberty to amend the resolution to remove or amend the provision relating to credit for the existing lawful use of the premises.
While this will enable the Council to levy adopted trunk infrastructure charges for the applications, care needs to be taken such an amendment will not be subject to legal challenge on the basis that it constitutes "double dipping" on the part of the Council.
The amended resolutions seek to remedy this situation by inserting the following clause under Section 5 for all the resolutions:
(ii) For applications other than proposals for development under the residential adopted infrastructure charge category the discount under (i) (a) and (b) will only apply where:
a. It can be demonstrated a monetary contribution in respect of the subject property for trunk infrastructure equal to the discount have been made under an adopted charges resolution, or infrastructure charges agreement, head works charges, a condition or conditions imposed by the Council or another charging mechanism; or
b. the development entails a change in the relevant adopted infrastructure charges category under Table 2 of the resolution.
To remove any doubt the resolution for the Roma planning scheme has an additional clause that states”
(iii) To remove any doubt, it is stated that a discount will not apply to a development proposal in the Industrial, Commercial, Special Uses and Open Space and Recreation Zones unless the conditions under 5 (ii) (a) and (b) have been met.
The following should be noted:
1. Due to the way in which the adopted charges under Table 2 are structured the same problem does not exist in relation to charges levied for residential development under the residential adopted infrastructure charge category. As such, the amendments do not affect proposals for residential development.
2. If it can be demonstrated a monetary contribution equal to a credit has already been made in the past in respect of the subject property, a credit will apply. Council can, therefore, not be accused of double-dipping. Since it would probably be unreasonable for an applicant to access infrastructure records, the Council will need to make a determination on the value of any previous contributions, if any.
3. A nil charge only eventuates where the application does not result in a change to the adopted infrastructure charge category. For example, if the adopted infrastructure charge category change from industrial to commercial as a result of the application, a significant infrastructure charge is payable and the credit will still apply.
4. Resolutions
In response to the request of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning it is proposed that Council resolve to adopt amended infrastructure charges for each planning scheme area.
To this effect five separate resolutions, one for each planning scheme area are attached as Attachments 2 to 6.

Infrastructure Charges for the Roma Town Planning Scheme |
5. Discounts
The charge for development is to be discounted to take into account the existing usage of trunk infrastructure by the premises on or in relation to which the development is carried out.
Discounts are to be calculated using the following method.
The adopted infrastructure charge is to be calculated using the following formula:
AIC = AC –D
Where:
· AIC is the adopted infrastructure charge that may be levied for development;
· AC is the adopted charge for the trunk infrastructure networks to service the development stated in stated in Table 2 of the resolutions; and
· D is the discount for the trunk infrastructure networks servicing the premises.
(i) The discount is the greater of:
a. the monetary equivalent of the existing lawful use of the premises, calculated using the adopted infrastructure charges in Table 2; and
b. the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.
(ii) For applications other than proposals for development under the residential adopted infrastructure charge category the discount under (i) (a) and (b) will only apply where:
a. It can be demonstrated a monetary contribution in respect of the subject property for trunk infrastructure equal to the discount have been made under an adopted charges resolution, or infrastructure charges agreement, head works charges, a condition or conditions imposed by the Council or another charging mechanism; or
b. the development entails a change in the relevant adopted infrastructure charges category under Table 2 of the resolution.
(iii) To remove any doubt, it is stated that a discount will not apply to a development proposal in the Industrial, Commercial, Special Uses and Open Space and Recreation Zones unless the conditions under 5 (ii) (a) and (b) have been met.
(iv) Applications for development which are not serviced or planned to be serviced by the water supply or sewerage networks for trunk infrastructure will be discounted as follows:
· Water supply network: 30% of total charge
· Sewerage network: 20% of total charge
(v) The maximum amount of any discount allocated under this resolution is not to exceed the adopted infrastructure charges for the proposed development.
6. Trunk infrastructure
Until a priority infrastructure plan is made —
§ the trunk infrastructure shown in Maps 2-6 is identified as the trunk infrastructure for the local government area
§ the trunk infrastructure network or trunk infrastructure networks to which the adopted infrastructure charge applies are – water supply, sewerage, stormwater, transport and parks and community facilities.
§ the standard of service for each network or network mentioned above is stated to be the standard set out in Attachment 1
7. Indexing adopted infrastructure charges
The adopted charge for Roma planning scheme may be increased after the charge is levied and before it is paid to the local government.
The increase must be calculated using the following method:
· the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.

Infrastructure Charges for Waroo Planning Scheme |
5. Discounts
The charge for development is to be discounted to take into account the existing usage of trunk infrastructure by the premises on or in relation to which the development is carried out.
Discounts are to be calculated using the following method.
The adopted infrastructure charge is to be calculated using the following formula:
AIC = AC –D
Where:
· AIC is the adopted infrastructure charge that may be levied for development;
· AC is the adopted charge for the trunk infrastructure networks to service the development stated in stated in Table 2 of the resolutions; and
· D is the discount for the trunk infrastructure networks servicing the premises.
(i) The discount is the greater of:
a. the monetary equivalent of the existing lawful use of the premises, calculated using the adopted infrastructure charges in Table 2; and
b. the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.
(ii) For applications other than proposals for development under the residential adopted infrastructure charge category the discount under (i) (a) and (b) will only apply where:
a. It can be demonstrated a monetary contribution in respect of the subject property for trunk infrastructure equal to the discount have been made under an adopted charges resolution, or infrastructure charges agreement, head works charges, a condition or conditions imposed by the Council or another charging mechanism; or
b. the development entails a change in the relevant adopted infrastructure charges category under Table 2 of the resolution.
(iii) Applications for development which are not serviced or planned to be serviced by the water supply or sewerage networks for trunk infrastructure will be discounted as follows:
· Water supply network: 30% of total charge
· Sewerage network: 20% of total charge
(iv) The maximum amount of any discount allocated under this resolution is not to exceed the adopted infrastructure charges for the proposed development.
6. Trunk infrastructure
Until a priority infrastructure plan is made —
§ the trunk infrastructure shown in Maps 2-6 is identified as the trunk infrastructure for the local government area
§ the trunk infrastructure network or trunk infrastructure networks to which the adopted infrastructure charge applies are – water supply, sewerage, stormwater, transport and parks and community facilities.
§ the standard of service for each network or network mentioned above is stated to be the standard set out in Attachment 1
7. Indexing adopted infrastructure charges
The adopted charge for Warroo planning scheme may be increased after the charge is levied and before it is paid to the local government.
The increase must be calculated using the following method:
· the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.
8. Dictionary
Words and terms used in this resolution have the meaning given in the SPA or the Queensland Planning Provisions version 2.0.

Infrastructure Charges for Bungil Planning Scheme |
5. Discounts
The charge for development is to be discounted to take into account the existing usage of trunk infrastructure by the premises on or in relation to which the development is carried out.
Discounts are to be calculated using the following method.
The adopted infrastructure charge is to be calculated using the following formula:
AIC = AC –D
Where:
· AIC is the adopted infrastructure charge that may be levied for development;
· AC is the adopted charge for the trunk infrastructure networks to service the development stated in stated in Table 2 of the resolutions; and
· D is the discount for the trunk infrastructure networks servicing the premises.
(i) The discount is the greater of:
a. the monetary equivalent of the existing lawful use of the premises, calculated using the adopted infrastructure charges in Table 2; and
b. the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.
(ii) For applications other than proposals for development under the residential adopted infrastructure charge category the discount under (i) (a) and (b) will only apply where:
a. It can be demonstrated a monetary contribution in respect of the subject property for trunk infrastructure equal to the discount have been made under an adopted charges resolution, or infrastructure charges agreement, head works charges, a condition or conditions imposed by the Council or another charging mechanism; or
b. the development entails a change in the relevant adopted infrastructure charges category under Table 2 of the resolution.
(iii) Applications for development which are not serviced or planned to be serviced by the water supply or sewerage networks for trunk infrastructure will be discounted as follows:
· Water supply network: 30% of total charge
· Sewerage network: 20% of total charge
(iv) The maximum amount of any discount allocated under this resolution is not to exceed the adopted infrastructure charges for the proposed development.
6. Trunk infrastructure
Until a priority infrastructure plan is made —
§ the trunk infrastructure shown in Maps 2-6 is identified as the trunk infrastructure for the local government area
§ the trunk infrastructure network or trunk infrastructure networks to which the adopted infrastructure charge applies are – water supply, sewerage, stormwater, transport and parks and community facilities.
§ the standard of service for each network or network mentioned above is stated to be the standard set out in Attachment 1
7. Indexing adopted infrastructure charges
The adopted charge for Bungil planning scheme may be increased after the charge is levied and before it is paid to the local government.
The increase must be calculated using the following method:
· the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.

Infrastructure Charges for Booringa Planning Scheme |
5. Discounts
The charge for development is to be discounted to take into account the existing usage of trunk infrastructure by the premises on or in relation to which the development is carried out.
Discounts are to be calculated using the following method.
The adopted infrastructure charge is to be calculated using the following formula:
AIC = AC –D
Where:
· AIC is the adopted infrastructure charge that may be levied for development;
· AC is the adopted charge for the trunk infrastructure networks to service the development stated in stated in Table 2 of the resolutions; and
· D is the discount for the trunk infrastructure networks servicing the premises.
(i) The discount is the greater of:

Trunk infrastructure
Until a priority infrastructure plan is made —
§ the trunk infrastructure shown in Maps 2-6 is identified as the trunk infrastructure for the local government area
§ the trunk infrastructure network or trunk infrastructure networks to which the adopted infrastructure charge applies are – water supply, sewerage, stormwater, transport and parks and community facilities.
§ the standard of service for each network or network mentioned above is stated to be the standard set out in attachment 1
7. Indexing adopted infrastructure charges
The adopted charge for Booringa planning scheme may be increased after the charge is levied and before it is paid to the local government.
The increase must be calculated using the following method:
· the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.

Infrastructure Charges for Bendemere Planning Scheme |
5. Discounts
The charge for development is to be discounted to take into account the existing usage of trunk infrastructure by the premises on or in relation to which the development is carried out.
Discounts are to be calculated using the following method.
The adopted infrastructure charge is to be calculated using the following formula:
AIC = AC –D
Where:
· AIC is the adopted infrastructure charge that may be levied for development;
· AC is the adopted charge for the trunk infrastructure networks to service the development stated in stated in Table 2 of the resolutions; and
· D is the discount for the trunk infrastructure networks servicing the premises.
(i) The discount is the greater of:
a. the monetary equivalent of the existing lawful use of the premises, calculated using the adopted infrastructure charges in Table 2; and
b. the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.
(ii) For applications other than proposals for development under the residential adopted infrastructure charge category the discount under (i) (a) and (b) will only apply where:
a. It can be demonstrated a monetary contribution in respect of the subject property for trunk infrastructure equal to the discount have been made under an adopted charges resolution, or infrastructure charges agreement, head works charges, a condition or conditions imposed by the Council or another charging mechanism; or
b. the development entails a change in the relevant adopted infrastructure charges category under Table 2 of the resolution.
(iii) Applications for development which are not serviced or planned to be serviced by the water supply or sewerage networks for trunk infrastructure will be discounted as follows:
· Water supply network: 30% of total charge
(iv) The maximum amount of any discount allocated under this resolution is not to exceed the adopted infrastructure charges for the proposed development.
6. Trunk infrastructure
Until a priority infrastructure plan is made —
§ the trunk infrastructure shown in Maps 2-6 is identified as the trunk infrastructure for the local government area
§ the trunk infrastructure network or trunk infrastructure networks to which the adopted infrastructure charge applies are – water supply, stormwater, transport and parks and community facilities.
§ the standard of service for each network or network mentioned above is stated to be the standard set out in Attachment 1
7. Indexing adopted infrastructure charges
The adopted charge for Bendemere planning scheme may be increased after the charge is levied and before it is paid to the local government.
The increase must be calculated using the following method:
· the monetary contributions for trunk infrastructure that have been previously made, escalated to present value by applying the movements of the Consumer Price Index (all Groups) for Brisbane between the date that the payment was made and 1 July 2012.
8. Dictionary
Words and terms used in this resolution have the meaning given in the SPA or the Queensland Planning Provisions version 2.0.
