Some developers look set to pay increased infrastructure charges as the South Burnett Regional Council begins a five-year process on November 1 to make charges consistent across the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe South Burnett has anomalies across the region in regards to charges for development,\u201d Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said today.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur infrastructure charges for creating new residential lots range from $2241 in Murgon through to $9757 in Kingaroy. <\/p>\n

“These inconsistencies in charges are a hangover from before amalgamation.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil is of the view that we can\u2019t change this overnight, so the changes will be staggered over many years. <\/p>\n

“Our charges are also a lot less than the maximum we could charge according to the State Government.\u201d<\/p>\n

The State Government established an Infrastructure Charges Taskforce in 2010 to simplify charges and to provide greater certainty for developers. <\/p>\n

The State Planning Regulatory Provision outlines that the maximum a local government can recover from a development connecting to council infrastructure is $28,000 for a three-bedroom home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese charges are a once-off charge only payable when a new development is undertaken and are paid by the developer when the land is sub-divided,\u201d South Burnett Manager of Planning, Land Management and Community Chris Du Plesis said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe charges only relate to a contribution for water supply, sewerage and parks as other infrastructure is funded via other means. <\/p>\n

“The home owner does not pay this charge again when a house is built or when it is sold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Kratzmann said that to smooth the transition to the new infrastructure charges, Council has adopted a “price path” over five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Burnett Regional Council\u2019s charges will still be much lower than our neighbouring regions,” he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Western Downs currently charges $22,000 and Somerset charges $15,215.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharges are reviewed on an annual basis and we, as a Council, will liaise with developers and get a feel for how the effect that these changes may be making on development in the region before any further change is made.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
