PART 1 - REVENUE STATEMENT 2016-17
General Approach
Council of the City of Gold Coast (Council) has developed this Revenue Statement in accordance with its Revenue Policy, which aims to raise sufficient
revenue to enable Council to:
•
ensure a balanced budget and provide a strong financial basis for effective management of expenditure programmes and debt
•
provide services to the community based on principles of intergenerational equity
•
sustain operating capability on a long term basis
•
encourage a strong, growing and sustainable local economy with appropriate levels of infrastructure assets and facilities
•
provide certainty of funding for the provision of infrastructure and services identified by Council in its long-term strategic financial plans and asset
management plans.
Council’s rate-setting and charging structures are based on the following principles, where applicable:
•
Equity – ensuring the fair and consistent application of lawful rating and charging principles, without bias, taking account of all relevant considerations.
•
Effectiveness/Efficiency – meeting the financial, social, economic and environmental, and other corporate objectives stated in Council’s Corporate Plan
and other adopted policies.
•
Simplicity – to ensure widespread community or stakeholder understanding of a complex system.
•
Sustainability – revenue decisions support the financial strategies for the delivery of infrastructure and services identified in Council’s long term planning.
These principles apply to the following activities:
•
making rates and charges
•
levying rates and charges
•
recovering rates and charges
•
granting and administering rates and charges concessions
•
charging for local government services and facilities
•
charging for competitive services and facilities
•
charging for business services and facilities (subject to National Competition Policy)
•
imposing cost-recovery and other fees
•
funding Council infrastructure.
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
1 of 194
In making all rates and charges Council will also have regard to:
•
Transparency – to inform the community of the basis of those rates and charges and hence Council’s accountability.
•
Creating a rating regime that is cost effective to administer.
•
Flexibility – taking account of changes in the local economy.
Concessions and Rebates
•
Subject to the conditions determined from time to time in Council’s Pensioner Rates Rebate Policy, Council may grant rebates on rates and charges to
assist home owners and non-home owners.
•
Council may grant rebates of rates and charges to assist non-profit community organisations of the classes identified in Council’s Rate Donation,
Infrastructure Charges and Development Application Fee Discount Policy.
•
Council may grant rebates on water consumption and sewage volume charges to assist persons affected by undetected water leakage within their
property subject to the conditions determined in Council’s Water and Sewage Leakage Relief Policy.
•
Subject to the conditions determined in Council’s Voluntary Conservation Agreement Scheme Policy, Council may grant rebates of differential general
rates to assist ratepayers, who are parties to voluntary conservation agreements with Council, to manage the natural value of their land parcels the
subject of the agreements.
•
In accordance with Section 119 Local Government Regulation 2012 and Council’s Deferral of Rates Policy, Council may defer payment of some or all
rates and charges to assist eligible persons who demonstrate to Council’s satisfaction that paying rates or charges will cause them hardship. In
particular, Council may defer payment of certain rates and general charges to assist qualifying ratepayers who utilise the property as their principal place
of residence and do not have the cash resources immediately available to make the payment.
Recovery of Rates and Charges
Council will exercise its rate recovery powers to reduce the overall rate burden on ratepayers, in which respect:
•
it will ensure transparency by making clear the obligations of ratepayers and the processes used by Council in assisting them to meet their obligations
•
it will make the processes used to recover outstanding rates and charges simple to administer and cost-effective
•
it will critically evaluate the prospects of success before undertaking recovery action, to minimise prospective wastage of its resources in pursuit of
irrecoverable money
•
it will act consistently, to provide similar treatment for ratepayers with similar circumstances
•
it will act with flexibility by responding where necessary to changes in the local economy.

Community Service Obligations
Council may subsidise the operations of commercialised business units, or other operations that are subject to the Code of Competitive Conduct (vide
Local Government Act section 97), to achieve social, economic, environmental, or other objectives associated with, or incidental to, the delivery of services by
those operations.
Council may charge for such activities at a rate less than the full cost price of a service. The difference between the full cost price and the actual charge will be
treated as a community service obligation (CSO). To ensure compliance with the requirement that CSOs be transparent, fully costed, and funded, each CSO
will be funded from an identified budget. The budgeted amount will be based on the agreed unit price and the estimated quantity to be provided.

Summary of Rates and Charges
(a)
Rates and Charges
•
Averaging of Valuations
Averaging of valuations over 3 years will apply in the 2016-17 financial year. The principle is that the values effective for the 2016-17 financial year
and each of the two previous financial years (2014-15 and 2015-16) will be averaged (the “3-year averaged value”). The 3-year averaged value will
be used as the basis for calculation of the differential general rate in 2016-17 unless the 3-year averaged value is more than the value of the land
for the 2016-17 financial year.
•
Differential General Rates
A differential system of rates provides equity through recognising different uses made of different properties (both generally and with respect to the
revenue-producing potential) and different service levels generated or potentially generated by different properties.
Differential general rates incorporate the categories detailed in the Schedule 1 table, which begins at page 15.
The basis for developing criteria that distinguish a category is the identification of particular characteristics or factors shared by all lands to be
included in the category; for example:
•
Residential land is categorised by taking into account, but not limited to, whether or not the land is:
-
a principal place of residence (referenced by categories 1A;1B;1C,1P,1T;1U and 7A); or
-
rented to permanent residents or is not a principal place of residence (referenced by categories 2A to 2T and 7B to 7H); or
-
multi-unit residential property (referenced by categories 8A to 8D).
-
rented to itinerants (referenced by categories 3A to 3T and 7M to 7S).
•
Commercial land is categorised on its commercial use or in the case of vacant land, usable under Council’s City Plan, for a commercial
purpose or a mixed commercial and residential purpose (referenced by categories 4A to 4T).
•
Farming land is categorised solely on the basis of whether it is valued under Land Valuation Act Chapter 2, Part 2, Division 5, Subdivision 2
for exclusive use of farming (referenced by categories 5A and 5B).
•
Newly subdivided land is categorised solely by reference to whether it is:
-
-
subject to a discounted valuation issued under Land Valuation Act Chapter 2, Part 2, Division 5, Subdivision 3; and
exempt from the minimum general rate as required under Local Government Regulation 2012 section 77,
(referenced by categories 6B, 6C and 6G).
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
4 of 194
When categorising land for differential rating purposes, Council has also had regard to the extent to which tourism and tourism-related business
and industry uses continue to contribute to the demand for the provision of Council services across the city. Council considers that land used for
those businesses (including premises used to provide rental accommodation to itinerants) and industries should generate a greater contribution to
general rate revenue than land that is not used for a commercial purpose (including premises used to provide rental accommodation to itinerants).
In addition, Council has had regard to its inspection program of all rental properties within the city. This program operates on a 3-year cycle during
which all rental premises are inspected either internally or externally by Council officers in an effort to maintain an acceptable standard of rental
accommodation throughout the city in accordance with its local laws. In such circumstances, Council considers that those rental properties should
generate a greater contribution to general rate revenue than land that is not rented.
Further, Council has had regard to the extent to which multi-unit residential buildings and multi-unit residential properties contribute to the demand
for the provision of Council services across the city. In such circumstances, Council considers that those multi-unit residential buildings and
multi-unit residential properties should make a greater contribution to general rate revenue.
Setting the rate-in-the-dollar for each rating category is influenced by fluctuations in site value (non-rural land) and unimproved value (rural land)
determined under the Land Valuation Act. However, substantial increases or reductions in land valuations do not necessarily correlate to an
increase or reduction in demand for the provision of Council services to such lands. Averaging of valuations over 3 years will apply to help
minimise the impact of increases in site value (non-rural land) and unimproved value (rural land) determined under the Land Valuation Act.
Minimum general rates are set for each category other than categories 6A, 6B, 6C and 6G.

Water Utility Charges – Potable (Drinking) Water
Residential Pricing
Two-part tariff pricing will apply to all residential property within the city (including residential vacant land) that is connected or has access to
Council’s water transportation system. The two-part tariff will be composed of:
(a)
a fixed access water charge, representing a contribution to the capital cost of Council's supply infrastructure; and
(b)
a consumption charge, namely a single tier charge for each kilolitre of water consumed.
Where some lots, but not all, in a community titles scheme supplied by a master meter, are residential lots (Council Land Use Code 10, 12, 14, 15
and 26), all the lots within the scheme will be levied as residential lots unless the majority of the lots within the scheme, based on contribution
schedule lot entitlement, are non-residential.
Non-residential Pricing
Two-part tariff pricing will apply to all non-residential properties within the city (including commercial vacant land) that is connected or has access to
Council’s water transportation system. The two-part tariff will be composed of:
(a)
a fixed access water charge, representing a contribution to the capital cost of Council's supply infrastructure; and
(b)
a consumption charge, namely a single tier charge for each kilolitre of water consumed.
For non-residential properties (including any multi-unit residential properties or buildings not the subject of a community titles scheme and the
supplied lot in the scheme created under the Sanctuary Cove Resort Act) the service charge will be based on the cross sectional area of water
services/s supplying the property or premises. A reduction factor based on the water consumption for the whole of the Previous Year will be
applied to the service charge. However, where a water service is greater than 32mm in diameter, the minimum service charge will be the service
charge for a 40mm water service.
As a result of the Queensland government water reform, Council no longer owns bulk water supply and transport assets, and must purchase bulk
water from the State. The consumption charge that Council levies is inclusive of the bulk water price.
•
Water Utility Charges – Class A+ Recycled Water
A consumption charge will be levied for the supply of Class A+ Recycled Water to properties in the Pimpama-Coomera Dual Reticulation Area,
namely a single tier charge for each kilolitre of Class A+ Recycled Water consumed. No access charge will apply.
•
Water Utility Charges – Raw (Untreated) Water
A consumption charge will be levied for the supply of Raw (Untreated) Water limited to those properties currently receiving that service, namely a
single tier charge for each kilolitre of Raw (Untreated) Water consumed. No access charge will apply.
All charges will accord with the resolution of rates and charges.

Sewerage Utility Charges
Residential Pricing
A fixed sewerage access charge, representing a contribution to the capital cost of Council's supply infrastructure, will apply to each individual
residential property (including residential vacant land) that is connected or has access to Council’s sewerage transportation and treatment system.
Non-residential Pricing
Two-part tariff pricing will apply to each individual non-residential property (including commercial vacant land and the supplied lot in the scheme
created under the Sanctuary Cove Resort Act) that is connected or has access to Council’s sewerage transportation and treatment system.
The two-part tariff will be composed of:
(a)
a fixed access charge, representing a contribution to the capital cost of Council's supply infrastructure; and
(b)
a discharge volumetric charge, namely a single tier charge for each kilolitre of sewage deemed to have discharged into Council’s sewerage
transportation and treatment system.
In determining the sewage volume discharged from a non-residential property into the sewerage system, Council will apply an industry discharge
factor to the water consumed at the property as measured by the water meter/s. The discharge factor represents sewage that leaves the property
as a percentage of the water consumed at the property. The deemed sewage volume is reduced by an allowance to cover the domestic strength
sewage discharge component.
In addition to the above, Council will impose trade waste quality charges where the sewage discharged from the property exceeds the strength
described in Gold Coast Water’s Sewerage Admission Standards.
All charges will accord with the resolution of rates and charges.
•
Waste Management Utility Charges
The charges for domestic 140-litre, 240-litre, and 360-litre bin services incorporate a domestic waste collection and removal service, a domestic
recyclable material collection and removal service and a contribution to the management and operation of waste management facilities, and as
such, there will be no separate charges issued.
The “base domestic waste service” comprises a 240-litre waste bin serviced kerbside once per week and a 240-litre recycling bin serviced kerbside
once per fortnight.
Non-domestic waste management utility charges do not include a charge for a recycling service or a contribution to the management and operation
of waste management facilities. Non-domestic services are subject to a separate charge for recycling services and subject to ‘user pays’ charges
for the management and operation of waste management facilities, in particular, land fill sites.

Council will not offer discounts on any other rates or charges including utility charges for water and sewerage services.
Council will not offer discount on any portion of a rate the payment of which:
(e)
•
is deferred; or
•
is rebated under Council’s Rate Donation, Infrastructure Charges and Development Application Fee Discount Policy; or
•
is donated under a Voluntary Conservation Agreement.
Due Date
The due date for payment of all rates and charges is the 31st day after the date of issue of the initial rate notice that includes a rate or charge.

(f)
Interest
Interest compounded on daily balances accrues on overdue rates and charges on and from the following dates until the date of payment:
(g)
•
where a deferment – payment by instalments arrangement is cancelled for ratepayer default, rates and charges overdue at the time of default will
be charged interest beginning on the day after day of default; and
•
in any other case, rates and charges overdue at the time of default will be charged interest beginning on the date on which the rate becomes
overdue (being the day after the day on which the discount period expires and the due date for payment under the rate notice).
Cost-recovery Fees and Commercial Charges
Cost-recovery fees and commercial charges fixed by Council pursuant to sections 97 and 262(3)(c) respectively of the Local Government Act are
detailed in the “Register of Fees and Charges 2016-17”.
The principles of Full Cost Pricing (National Competition Policy)* and User Pays** have been applied in calculating all cost-recovery fees of the Council
where applicable. As part of the resolutions adopting the 2016-17 Budget, Council has also adopted certain cost exclusions applicable to some
cost-recovery fees.
Also, pursuant to Local Government Act section 98, Council cost-recovery fees have been separately listed in the “Register of Fees and Charges 201617”.
* By Local Government Regulation 2012 section 22:
A local government applies full cost pricing to a significant business activity by charging for goods or services at the full cost of providing the goods
or services, subject to the following—
(a)
the pricing provisions;
(b)
the removal of any competitive advantage or disadvantage, whenever possible and appropriate;
(c)
if a competitive advantage or disadvantage can not be removed—the taking of the competitive advantage or disadvantage into account when
pricing the goods or services.
A competitive advantage is an advantage a business entity conducting a significant business activity has over a private sector business because the
local government owns the activity.
** User pays is a charging method premised upon a person paying for only that portion of a service that the person consumes.
Two factors must be present to enable the implementation of a user pays system for a service:
•
The local government must be able to measure with some precision the total cost of providing the service to the community.
•
The total cost of the service must be capable of apportionment among the users, as far as is practicable, on the basis of their individual usage of
the service. This implies that the local government can measure each consumer’s use of the service.

PART 2 - RESOLUTION OF RATES AND CHARGES
1
Rates and Charges Levy
Recommendation:
Pursuant to Local Government Regulation 2012 section 107(1), Council resolves to levy 2016-17 rates and charges, by twice yearly service of rate
notices for each of the 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2016 period and the 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 period.
Further, pursuant to Local Government Regulation 2012 section 107(1) and the Water and Sewerage Services Code for Small Customers in South East
Queensland (made under the Restructuring Act) section 8.1, Council resolves to levy 2016-17 water and sewerage charges, by quarterly service of
notices for each of the 1 July 2016 to 30 September 2016, 1 October 2016 to 31 December 2016, 1 January 2017 to 31 March 2017 and 1 April 2017 to
30 June 2017 periods.

Averaging of Valuations
Recommendation:
Pursuant to Local Government Regulation 2012 section 74(3), Council resolves as follows for levying rates on rateable land in the city for the 2016-17
financial year:
(a)
For Local Government Regulation 2012 section 74(4), the value of the land will be the 3-year averaged value of the land unless the 3-year
averaged value is more than the value of the land for the 2016-17 financial year.
(b)
Its averaged value will be the value calculated under Local Government Regulation 2012 section 76, namely the amount that equals:
(i)
(ii)
(c)
if the land had a value for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 financial years—
(A)
the sum of the value of the land for each of the 2014-15 and the 2015-16 financial years;
(B)
plus the value of the land for the 2016-17 financial year;
(C)
divided by 3; or
if the land did not have a value for 2014-15 or 2015-16 the value of the land for the 2016-17 financial year multiplied by the 3-year averaging
number.
The 3-year averaging number, for a financial year, is the number calculated to 2 decimal places by applying the formula—
𝑇
3𝑉
for which—
T is the total of the values of all rateable land in Council’s area for the 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17 financial years; and
V is the value of all rateable land in Council’s local government area for the 2016-17 financial year.
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
13 of 194
(d)
For clarity: in calculating the 3-year averaged value of land:
the values for the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 financial years is the site value (non-rural land) or the unimproved value (rural land) determined
under the Land Valuation Act.
(e)
3
For the purpose of section 76(2) of the Local Government Regulation, the ‘3 year averaging number’ for the 2016-17 financial year is 0.88.
Differential General Rates (Refer Schedule 1 and Annexures B, C, D and E)
Recommendation:
(a)
Pursuant to Local Government Regulation 2012 section 80(1), Council will levy differential general rates for the year ending 30 June 2017.
(b)
For that purpose, rateable land in the city is differentiated into the 87 rating categories detailed in the Table of Differential Categories and Rates in
Schedule 1.
(c)
Each row of the Table of Differential Categories and Rates contains the relevant details for one of those 87 differential rating categories as follows:
(d)
(i)
Column 1 specifies the rating category number.
(ii)
Column 2 contains a description of the rating category.
(iii)
Column 3 specifies the indicia by which the rateable land in the rating category is identified. The land is identified by reference to alphabetical
or alpha-numeric codes drawn from those classified in Annexures A to F. These annexures specify between them all of the Council land
identification codes available for use from time to time in identifying the rateable land in the various rating categories.
(iv)
Column 4 specifies the differential general rate to be levied upon rateable land in the rating category.
(v)
Column 5 specifies the minimum general rate (if any) to be levied upon rateable land in the rating category.
Council levies upon the rateable land in each differential rating category detailed in the Table of Differential Categories and Rates:
(i)
the differential general rate the table specifies for the rateable land in that category; and
(ii)
(e)
(f)
(for the rating categories other than 6A, 6B, 6C and 6G) the corresponding minimum differential general rate the table specifies for the
rateable land in that category.
For calculating the averaged value of a lot included in a community titles scheme, the averaged value of the scheme land will be apportioned
between the lots included in the scheme, in proportion to the interest schedule lot entitlement for each lot.
However, where the rateability of any land alters during the year, adjustments of differential general rate will be made pro rata in accordance with
Local Government Act 2009 section 93 and Local Government Regulation 2012 Chapter 4, Part 9, Division 2 (section 109 et seq) (whichever
provision is relevant to the context), from the date of the alteration.
(g)
Where two contiguous lots in a community titles scheme which are in the same ownership have been physically constructed to be used as a single
residence and cannot, without major building modifications, be reconfigured to enable the two lots to be occupied as separate residences, then the
lots will be treated as a single residence for rating purposes. Conditions apply.
(h)
For the purpose of categorising rateable land, and deciding differential rates for rateable land, Council will in accordance with Local Government
Act 2009 section 94(1A), categorise residential land according to whether or not the land is the principal place of residence of the owner.

The rateable land in Area A will specially benefit from the company activities funded by Special Rate A because the activities will assist in:

developing and enhancing businesses conducted upon Area A land, assisting them to retain existing patrons and to attract new
patrons; and
(b)

Due to its proximity to the coastal strip and key economic activity centres, the rateable land within Area A, which is used predominantly for
residence of tourists and itinerants and for local business purposes, and is covered by a local area plan, will derive more benefit from the
CSGCL activities than will the rateable land in Area B.
(8)
Due its distance from the coastal strip, the rateable land in Area B, which is used predominantly for industrial business purposes, will derive
benefit from the CSGCL activities (through increased networking capability, increased export opportunity, and potential skills-based or other
projects) but the benefit will be substantially less than the benefit the rateable land in Area A derives.

Notes for the purposes of applying water charges in Tables 1, 2 and 3:
(a)
Where a lot in a Prescribed Community Titles Scheme has a Residential Use then:
•
where the majority of the lots in the Prescribed Community Titles Scheme have a Residential Use (Council Land Use 12, 14 and 26) based on
contribution schedule lot entitlements then all the lots in the Prescribed Community Titles Scheme will be levied a utility charge as if they were
a Residential Use; and
•
where the majority of the lots in the Prescribed Community Titles Scheme do not have a Residential Use (Council Land Use 12, 14 and 26)
based on contribution schedule lot entitlements then all the lots in the Prescribed Community Titles Scheme will be levied a utility charge as if
they do not have a Residential Use.
(b)
No separate annual service charge will be levied in respect of a storage lot or garage lot where such lot is registered as a separate lot in a
community titles scheme and is associated, by ownership , with another lot in the same community titles scheme that is NOT a storage lot or
garage lot, or in the case of a pump site lease issued by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, or in the case of a marina berth where
such lot is associated, by ownership, with another lot that is not a marina berth.
(c)
No separate annual service charge will be levied in respect of lots defined as un-associated Storage cages and garages (Council Land Use Code
92).
(d)
Where an improvement exists upon two or more lots in a manner that renders it physically impossible for the owners to dispose of part as a
regulation sized lot, it shall be regarded as one lot for the purpose of the application of the service charge.
(e)
Where a whole residential duplex is solely owner/occupied as a single unit dwelling, then only one annual residential water service charge shall
apply.
(f)
Where the use or occupation of any lot changes during the year adjustments shall be made on a pro-rata basis from the date of change unless
otherwise specified.
Where land is subdivided, adjustments of water charges shall be made on a pro-rata basis from the date of registration of the plan of subdivision.
(g)
(h)
Where a joint water service arrangement exists between two or more entities (other than for the Sanctuary Cove Scheme) the supplied lot shall be
levied the applicable water charges reflecting the use of the supplied lot unless determined otherwise on a case by case basis.
(i)
Without limiting note (h), where a multi-unit residential lot or commercial lot (“the premises”) would be subject to non-residential water
pricing,
were it not for the fact that the supply of water to the premises is not measurable in a manner to allow Council to apply non-residential water pricing,
that the premises be subject to the levy of a fixed access water charge (residential or non-residential, whichever is applicable) for each separate
Sole Occupancy contained within the premises, as if each Sole Occupancy was a separate rateable lot.
(j)
The non-residential service charge will be adjusted if previous year’s consumption is effected by leakage for which relief has been approved.
(k)
Unmetered Fire Services will be adjusted to the 40mm water service size and not subject to the 30% Applicable Rate as referred to in the
definitions table below.
Note: For the period from the last read date (4R) for the 2016-17 financial year to 30 June 2017, the water consumed, in the absence of an actual meter
read on 30 June, will be calculated by dividing the actual volume of water consumed for the period ending at the first quarter read date (1R) after 30 June
and commencing the last read date (4R) of the current financial year by the number of days in the period (provides an estimated notional daily supply rate
over the period) multiplied by the number of days since the last read date (4R) of the current financial year up to 30 June.

Where the use or occupation of any lot changes during the year adjustments shall be made on a pro-rata basis from the date of change unless
otherwise specified.
(f)
Where land is subdivided adjustments of sewerage charges shall be made on a pro-rata basis from the date of registration of the plan.
(g)
Where a joint water service arrangement exists between two or more entities (other than for the Sanctuary Cove Scheme) the supplied lot shall be
levied the applicable sewerage charges reflecting the use of the supplied lot unless determined otherwise on a case by case basis.
(h)
Without limiting note (g), where a multi-unit residential lot or commercial lot (“the premises”) would be subject to non-residential sewerage pricing,
were it not for the fact that the supply of water to the premises is not measurable in a manner to allow Council to apply non-residential sewerage
pricing, that the premises be subject to the levy of a fixed access sewerage charge for each separate Sole Occupancy contained within the premises,
as if each Sole Occupancy was a separate rateable lot.

Trade Waste Utility Charges
Recommendation:
Council resolves, pursuant to Local Government Act 2009 section 94 and Local Government Regulation 2012 sections 99 to 102 and 110, and the
Water and Sewerage Services Code for Small Customers in South East Queensland (made under the Restructuring Act) section 8.1 to make and levy
utility charges with respect to trade waste as detailed in the following table marked “Trade Waste Utility Charges Schedule”.

*For load factors above 4, the trade waste charge is 5% for every 1 Load Factor score.
It should be noted that the load factor is a “points based system” which factors in the additional risk, strength, infrastructure and administrative load
placed on the sewerage system by sewage discharged from a property, above and beyond normal domestic sewage discharge.
For the purposes of determining the level of Trade Waste Utility Charges a customer categorisation is undertaken to determine the load factor as
detailed in the following section marked “Load Factor Calculation”.
Load Factor Calculation
LOAD FACTOR
Load factor is calculated using the following formula:
Load factor = Industry group ( I ) + Sewer Admission Standard rating ( S ) + Pre-treatment
Compliance ( P ) + Compliance history ( C )
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
115 of 194
The definitions of the load factor criteria are:
I = Industry group is a rating based on an assessment of the process producing the trade waste. Industry groups are categorised according to types of
contaminants which are likely to be present in the trade waste from that industry and is based on industry standard and guidance provided by the National
Water Services Association of Australia.
S = Sewer Admission Standards rating is a determination of whether or not the customer trade waste discharge is below the Sewer Admission Standards.
P = Pre-treatment is a rating of whether or not the customer meets a specified set of conditions with regards to appropriate pre-treatment.
C = Compliance history is based on the customer’s history of breaches of approval conditions.
Sewer Admission Standards:
For the 2016-17 financial year, the Sewer Admission Standards rating score for input into the customer categorisation formula is as follows:
Sewer Admission Standards
S
All parameters below Sewer Admission Standards
0
Any parameter above Sewer Admission Standards
1
As a means of managing what gets put into the sewer, Council has set acceptance standards as detailed in tables 1, 2, and 3. Each substance listed in the
acceptance standards has been assessed as posing a potential risk to people, infrastructure, or the environment.
All sewage discharged to the sewerage system shall at all times comply with the standards, unless otherwise specified in the Trade Waste Approval. The
standards are comprised of Prohibited Substances, General Substance Limits and Controlled Substance Limits.
Any substance not listed in the table below and those listed as a prohibited discharge may not be discharged to the sewerage system. Council may request
specific demonstrable evidence based on a degradability and toxicity for any substance when assessing acceptance for discharge to its sewerage system.

If required, discharges must be pre-treated to comply with requirements stated in the trade waste approval or the Sewer Admission Standards. Any plumbing
or drainage work at the premises must be carried out by a licensed plumber and be verified by a compliance certificate issued by Council’s Plumbing and
Drainage department.
It may be necessary to install equipment to treat the trade waste before it is discharged into the sewer. For customers installing “off the shelf” devices
including grease arrestors or Oily water separators, only pre-treatment products that have been approved by Council can be installed. Specifications for
these devices are detailed below.
Defective, under-sized or over-loaded pre-treatment equipment does not meet the specified pre-treatment criteria which is; the pre- treatment device must be
in good working order and not over-loaded.
Grease arrestor specifications:
Grease arrestors must be sized to allow one hour retention at peak hourly flow.
Grease arrestors up to 2000 litres may receive up to an additional 10 per cent fixture loading in excess of the stated capacity of the arrestor. Grease arrestors
3000 litres and greater shall be sized to receive a minimum of 75 per cent fixture loading of the stated capacity of the arrestor.
Unless otherwise approved, all arrestors shall:
a) not be less than 1000 litres in capacity;
b) not be greater than 5000 litres in capacity;
c) be vented with a 100 millimetre diameter vent;
d) have gas tight lids;
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
121 of 194
e) be fitted with 100 millimetre sample points on the inlet and outlet of the arrestor;
f)
have a capacity below the invert of the outlet of the arrestor at least twice the total capacity of the appliances and fixtures connected to the arrestor or,
a larger capacity if required by Council;
g) have a distance from the top of the arrestor to the outlet that is at least half the depth of the arrestor below the outlet invert;
h) have the outlet invert level of the arrestor at least 75 millimetres below the inlet invert level.
All pre-cast concrete grease or silt arrestors installed are to be protected by an internal acid resistant protective coating, installed during manufacture and
prior to the delivery and installation of the arrestor.
All pre-treatment equipment must be installed in a suitable location allowing servicing and maintenance to be carried out in accordance with Workplace
Health and Safety guidelines. Grease arrestors are ideally located externally to the building so that servicing and maintenance can be carried out easily.
Grease arrestors that need to be installed internally must be located in a suitably sealed, vermin proofed room with mechanical ventilation. The room must
have external access only and be completely sealed from food preparation areas. A hose cock and remote servicing pipe must be located within the room.
The door of the room must remain closed when the grease arrestor is being serviced.
Remote servicing pipes for pre-treatment equipment must be 80mm minimum diameter. The pipe inlet at the device end must be positioned above the device
and be complete with a cam lock fitting. The suction end of the pipe should be easily accessible and fitted with a male cam lock fitting.
Grease arrestors installed in restricted areas must satisfy the following requirements:
•
The minimum clear height above the top of the arrestor lids and the underside of the floor slab, or concrete thickening beam or any other obstruction
should be 1500mm minimum for gastight screw on light duty lids and 1800mm minimum for gastight covers and frame.
•
A safe working platform may be required adjacent to the arrestor to enable the gastight covers to be removed from the frame. The walkway floor of the
platform should be a minimum of 2100 mm clear of the underside of the floor slab, or concrete thickening beam or any other obstruction.
Oily water separators
Each application will be assessed on the nature of the oily waste to be treated, the proposed treatment method and the site location. A minimum size 1000
litre in-ground holding tank is required prior to coalescing plate and vertical gravity separators.
The size of the oily water separation equipment will be calculated by the peak hourly flow rate through the unit.
Oily water separation and pre-treatment options include:
(a)
coalescing plate separators;
(b)
vertical gravity separators;

Concessions - Deferral of Rates Payment
Recommendation:
Pursuant to Local Government Regulation 2012 section 122(1)(b), Council resolves as follows:
In accordance with Council’s Deferral of Rates Policy, deferral arrangements shall be considered for
(a) Eligibile pensioners, or
(b) Nominated special rates and charges, or
(c) Nominated non-recurrent charges recovered as a rate (eg. infrastructure charges, clearing of land charges).
(1)
(2)
The deferral arrangement may be entered into with an eligible person who is both the owner of the rateable land and uses this property as their
principal place of residence and holds either of the following:(a)
a current Repatriation Health Care Card for All Conditions issued by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs; or
(b)
a current Queensland Pensioner Concession Card issued by Centrelink or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs; or
(c)
a Health Care Card, if the person is also in receipt of a Widows allowance, and received Council’s pensioner rate remission prior to the death of
their partner; or
(d)
a Queensland Government Seniors Card.
Pursuant to section 96(a) of the Local Government Act 2009, Council may exercise its power under the Local Government Regulation 2012 section 122
(1)(b), to grant a rate concession by agreeing to defer payment of rates and charges as follows:
(i)
the entire differential general rate or any portion of the differential general rate (deferred on an ongoing basis during the life of the deferral
agreement),
and / or
(ii)
(3)
all rates and charges due and payable for a property/s should any portion of any rate or charge for the property/s be overdue for three (3)
years or more (a once only deferral),
In relation to (2.i) above, the rates and charges that the Council will agree to defer is calculated by multiplying the rates and charges able to be deferred
by the percentage of an eligible person’s ownership in the property/s subject to the following:
(a)
an eligible person who owns the land with their spouse or partner as joint tenants or as tenants-in-common and only one is an eligible person,
the percentage of the eligible person’s ownership interest in the land, shall be deemed to be 100%;
(b)
in other cases where two or more persons own an interest in the land when the deferral application is made, the percentage of rates able to be
deferred is the aggregate of the percentage interests in the land (3(a) applies) that are owned by eligible persons (joint tenants are deemed to
own equal shares in the property/s ; tenants-in-common in accordance the percentage shares as per the land title).
Example for sub-paragraph (b)
If 4 persons, three of whom are eligible persons, own the land as tenants-in-common in equal shares (i.e. 25% each), the eligible person’s
ownership is 75% (the aggregate of the three eligible persons’ shares).
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17

(4)
In relation to (2.ii) above, Council will agree to defer all rates and charges if at least one owner, either as a joint tenant or as a tenant-in-common, is an
eligible person.
(5)
As permitted by the Local Government Regulation 2012 section 125(3), each deferral will be conditional upon the grantee of the concession paying
Council an additional charge known as the Premium.
The Premium is equivalent to the aggregate of:
(i)
the annual administration fee or interest percentage that Council has imposed for each financial year during the deferment period; and
(ii)
the cost to Council of deferring its receipt of the subject rates and charges, calculated over the deferral period as interest that compounds
bi-annually. The interest rate of the Premium shall be at a rate equal to the average earning rate on Council’s investments through to the
end of the last full half year period during the deferral term.
(6)
The terms of a deferral may not allow payment of the deferred sum or the premium later than the day that the last surviving eligible person with whom
Council has entered into the deferral agreement ceases to have an ownership interest in the land.
(7)
For the purposes of paragraphs 6, a person who was joint owner of the land subject to a deferral agreement and who was not an eligible person at the
time the deferral agreement was entered into, shall be deemed to have been an eligible person at the time the deferral agreement was entered into if
they have subsequently become an eligible person either before or on the day that the last surviving eligible person with whom Council has entered into
the deferral agreement ceases to have an ownership interest in the land.
(8)
If an applicant ceases to be an eligible person or chooses to opt out of the deferment agreement, the ongoing deferral of rates will cease. The total
deferral amount and the Premium that has accrued to that date can remain deferred and will continue to have the Premium applied until the deferral
agreement is terminated or the total deferral amount and the Premium that has accrued can be paid at that point in time.
(9)
Any rates not subject to deferral are required to be paid by the end of the respective billing period.
(10) An applicant deemed eligible for deferral shall be required to execute the Deed for Deferral of Rates.
(11) From time to time, Council may resolve to levy special rates and charges and stipulate that these levies are able to be subject to a deferral
arrangement as well as defining the terms that are to apply to such deferral arrangements.
(12) Where non-recurrent charges are to be recovered as a rate e.g. infrastructure charges; clearing of land charges, a deferral arrangement may be
granted upon these charges. It is intended that the deferral will allow for a Premium to be levied. The Premium is equivalent to the aggregate of:
(a)
the annual administration fee or interest percentage that Council has imposed for each financial year during the deferment period; and
(b)
the cost to Council of deferring its receipt of the subject rates and charges, calculated over the deferral period as interest that compounds biannually. The interest rate of the Premium shall be at a rate equal to the average earning rate on Council’s investments through to the end of the
last full half year period during the deferral term.
(13) The Premium shall be calculated from the date the charge was due. The Premium will be added to the account at the time of approval of the deferral.
(14) Prior to transferring charges to the rate account, every effort is to be made to recover the charges. The relevant Director will consider the recovery
activities undertaken prior to authorising the transfer of a charge/s to the rate account.
(15) Once a charge/s has been transferred to the rate account for recovery purposes approval from the Director Organisational Services will be required to
cease any recovery action initiated.

GOLD COAST CBD OVERALL PLAN
Executive Summary
The revitalisation of Southport is a fundamental part of the city’s Economic Development Strategy to diversify the economy, provide high value jobs for
its residents and attract new business and investment to the city through a connected and competitive Central Business District (CBD).
Southport was declared a Priority Development Area (PDA) of Queensland under the Economic Development Act 2012 (the Act) as a tool to assist in
Southport’s urban revitalisation. The main purpose of the Act is to facilitate economic development outcomes within a defined area. An implementation
strategy may assist to achieve the main purpose of the Act for that area.
The State delegated specific powers of the Act to the Council of the City of Gold Coast (Council) including sections 115 (1) to (7) and 117 (1), (4) and
(5) which allow for the making of a special rate or charge for the supply of a service, facility or activity for the special benefit of identified properties.
Council has a responsibility to carry out the powers delegated to it under the Act and to execute the Implementation Strategy for the Southport PDA
Development Scheme. As such, a special rate – the Gold Coast CBD Special Rate - is proposed to fund the CBD services and activities required by the
Implementation Strategy.
The purpose of the special rate is to ensure the delivery of a range of services and activities that would ordinarily not be provided by Council so as to
benefit the owners or occupiers within the Rateable Area, Precinct 1 - CBD in the PDA boundary (Refer to Map 1 – Southport PDA Boundary Map).
Specifically, the identified Rateable Land is 904 properties under Categories 3, 4, 7 and 8.
The services and activities to be funded by the Gold Coast CBD Special Rate are set out in Part 2 of this Overall Plan, and generally involve:
1.
delivering the requirements of the Southport PDA Development Scheme Implementation Strategy through implementation activities and project
delivery to achieve the main purpose of the Act to facilitate economic development; and
2.
providing the necessary resources to manage implementation activities, project delivery and manage the governance arrangements.
This Overall Plan details the requirements of the Act to levy the special rate.
PART 1 Background
The Gold Coast is coming of age. To secure its place as a world class business and lifestyle destination, the city needs a serious business district to
attract investment and create jobs. Recent significant public and private sector investment in community infrastructure, light rail, public realm and the
development of major city assets in the lead up to the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth GamesTM has begun to reinvigorate the Gold Coast CBD.
As the traditional business centre of the Gold Coast, Southport is the city’s primary centre of employment of professional, legal, education and
government services and supports significant retail, medical, community and recreation uses and residential development. Southport has the highest
concentration of employment (24,857 jobs) and largest share of commercial space (149,240m²) in the city.
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
174 of 194
Appendix 7
The Gold Coast population is expected to increase by 320,000 residents over the next 20 years. Southport will play a crucial role in accommodating this
future growth with its residential population of 28,315 expected to double over the next ten years as densification occurs along stage one of the Gold
Coast light rail corridor.
The revitalisation of Southport is fundamental to the city’s long-term economic development strategy to diversify the economy, providing professional
jobs for residents and attracting new business and investment to the city. This is supported through the City’s Corporate Plan, Economic Development
Strategy, City Plan and Southport’s declaration as a PDA under the Act.
The Act provides a holistic framework to address issues associated with land-use planning and activities that government can pursue to support
economic appeal of an area. The Act requires the PDA Development Scheme to include an Implementation Strategy to achieve the main purpose of the
Act to the extent that purpose is not achieved by the land use plan or the plan for infrastructure in supporting the vision for the PDA.
The Gold Coast CBD Overall Plan focuses on the provision of services and activities identified in the Implementation Strategy specifically within Precinct
1 of the PDA boundary.
1.1
Implementation Strategy
The Implementation Strategy supports the requirements of the land use and infrastructure plans of the PDA by identifying initiatives that facilitate
development, support economic growth and deliver community benefit (refer Southport PDA Development Scheme – Section 5 Implementation
Strategy). The Implementation Strategy has been developed to continue to respond to new issues and opportunities as the CBD evolves over time. The
key focus areas of the Implementation Strategy are summarised in Diagram 1.
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
175 of 194
Diagram 1 – Implementation Strategy Key Focus Areas
Appendix 7
The Implementation Strategy commits to specific sub-strategies related to the establishment of ongoing funding and governance including:
ensuring that appropriate operational and management initiatives support the ongoing requirements of a vibrant and active Gold Coast CBD;
developing a prioritised action plan (CBD Program) of CBD Building Projects to stimulate investment; and
establishing a funding model and Southport specific governance structure to guide and manage the PDA, deliver infrastructure and attractive
urban places and be responsible for ensuring community benefit is achieved over time.
The Overall Plan establishes the funding and governance requirements to deliver the CBD services and activities identified by the Implementation
Strategy.
1.2
Establishment Activities
Council has put in place new services and activities specifically for the PDA to deliver the Implementation Strategy. The Gold Coast CBD Office was
established as an interim function of Council in March 2014 to act as the central point of contact and coordination to help business and the general
community take advantage of opportunities in the PDA. Over this time the CBD Office has demonstrated the benefit of its establishment and the services
it provides.
The CBD Office, based in Southport, is responsible for executing the requirements of Implementation Strategy and has identified, developed and
delivered a range of services and activities not previously delivered in Southport such as events, business engagement and destination marketing. The
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
176 of 194
Appendix 7
CBD Office coordinates projects and activities and works closely with local business and the general community. A summary of key outcomes in 2015 of
the CBD Office is provided in Attachment 1.
The interim CBD Office is currently resourced through the allocation of existing and temporary Council resources and resources from Council’s Major
Projects Branch as required. Operational funds were provided through general rates revenue in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years.
1.3
Program Management Framework
Council does not provide the broad remit of activities and services offered in the PDA in other areas of the city. Generally these types of non-core
business activities have been outsourced through the creation of controlled entities such as Surfers Paradise Alliance. Given the organisational focus on
the CBD and to manage the additional coordination activity required to bring multiple areas of government and the community together, a program
management governance framework has been developed. Outlined in Diagram 2 is the established CBD Precinct Management Framework.
Diagram 2 – CBD Precinct Management Framework
The Program Management Framework consists of:
CBD Steering Committee - made up of Council Directors, is the ultimate decision making body for the Implementation Strategy.
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
177 of 194
Appendix 7
Gold Coast CBD Office - plans, prioritises and coordinates projects, services and activities in the CBD as identified in the Implementation Strategy to
revitalise Southport.
Internal Working Group - represents organisational and State interests and progresses solutions through ordinary work programs.
External Interest Groups - engages with a variety of interest and representative groups to progress CBD objectives and provide feedback.
This structure establishes a system for ongoing stakeholder engagement and coordinates the interest of internal and external groups to assist business
and the community to take advantage and ownership of the CBD’s future. It provides a problem solving and decision making mechanism to identify new
project ideas that directly respond to the needs and issues affecting Southport’s revitalisation and to elevate unresolved issues to the CBD Steering
Committee as required.
1.4
CBD Program
The CBD Program sets the vision for the CBD. The CBD Program identifies projects, services and activities to be initiated within the next four years to
leverage the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth GamesTM and the catalytic actions required to revitalise the CBD that will have a transformative effect on
our growing city over the next ten years.
The CBD Program aims to:
 provide clear vision and direction to the future growth of the CBD;
 identify and prioritise key projects to revitalise and position the CBD;
 support future funding and leverage private sector opportunities;
 provide solutions to economic and social issues affecting Southport’s revitalisation;
 engage and inspire the community; and
 identify issues and opportunities pertinent to the CBD’s success.
Reviewed annually, the CBD Program will coordinate, validate and secure CBD building infrastructure investment in partnership with all directorates of
CoGC, other levels of government and the private sector. The process of annually identifying projects and reviewing cost structures for areas of common
expenditure will reduce duplication and increase organisational efficiency.
The interrelationship between the Implementation Strategy, the CBD Program and this Overall Plan in identifying, coordinating and funding services and
activities in the CBD is outlined in Diagram 3.

Appendix 7
PART 2 - Economic Development Act (Qld) 2012 – Special Rate or Charge
As part of the Instrument of Delegation prepared under the Act, the Minister for Economic Development Queensland delegated the functions and powers
under sections 115 (1) to (7) and 117 (1), (4) and (5) which allows for the making and levying of a special rate or charge on owners or occupiers of
ratable land in a PDA for a service, facility or activity provided by a local government. The land, or the owner or occupier of the land, must specially
benefit from or have special access to the particular service, facility or activity specific to the PDA.
In the making of a special rate or charge applicable to the PDA, the local government is required to identify the rateable land to which the special rate or
charge applies and develop an overall plan for the supply of the service, facility or activity applicable to the charge. In accordance with section 115(6) of
the Act, the overall plan must:
a) be adopted before, or at the same time as, the special rate or charge is first made;
b) identify the rateable land to which the rate or charge applies;
c) describe the service, facility or activity;
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
179 of 194
d) state the estimated cost of implementing the overall plan; and
e) state the estimated time for implementing the overall plan.
Appendix 7
2.1 Purpose of Special Rate
The purpose of the special rate is to support the main purpose of the Act, namely, to facilitate economic development outcomes through the delivery of
the services and activities defined by the Implementation Strategy. The special rate is focused on delivering services and activities in Precinct 1 – CBD.
Council’s role in supporting economic growth and creating jobs in this core area is to create demand by:
- positioning the Gold Coast CBD to attract inward investment;
- leveraging the Gold Coast CBD’s existing advantages;
- improving liveability by creating vibrant urban places; and
- achieving the vision of the PDA by ensuring appropriate operational and management initiatives are in place.
Council’s intervention as outlined above, is focused on using the implementation and governance activities to reduce the barriers to conducting business
in the CBD, supporting business growth, providing economic opportunities and expediting the resolution of issues associated with Southport’s
revitalisation.
2.2 Identified Rateable Land
Council is providing new services and activities as required by the Implementation Strategy under the Act. The services and activities to be provided are
based on the knowledge and experience of the interim CBD Office in response to the needs of business and the community in the PDA. The services
and activities are, by their nature, designed to address those needs and to encourage economic activity in the PDA.
It must be noted that, without the resources and funding associated with this Overall Plan, the services and activities described cannot be delivered.
The services and activities set out below are not part of Council’s ordinary business and will be provided as a result of this Overall Plan. Table 1 shows
the alignment of the delivery of services and activities to the Implementation Strategy and identifies land which will be subject to the special rate because
that land is rateable property which will benefit from the delivery of those service and activities, or is land owned or occupied by persons who will benefit
from the delivery of those services and activities provided.
As per section 115(7) of the Act, the local government may identify parcels of rateable land to which the rate or charge applies in any way the local
government sees appropriate. Council has followed the process outlined in Diagram 4 and used the knowledge gained from the interim CBD Office:
- determine the services and activities aligned to the Implementation Strategy;
- determine the benefits of these services and activities; and
- identify which properties, or owners or occupiers of properties, benefit or do not benefit from the delivery of those services and activities.
Revenue Statement and Resolution of Rates and Charges 2016-17
180 of 194
Diagram 4 – Process to Establish the Special Rate
Appendix 7
Council has determined the rateable land to be subject to the special rate by identifying the services and activities to be delivered and attributing the
benefits of the delivery of those services and activities which, consistent with the main purpose of the Act, are designed to generate economic growth
within the PDA, to rateable properties, or their owners or occupiers. An assessment of all rateable properties within the Gold Coast local area boundary
was undertaken to identify the rateable properties, or owners or occupiers of rateable properties, which received , or would receive, a benefit over and
above any benefit received by any other rateable property, or owner or occupier.
The intent of the PDA and the development scheme is to revitalise the CBD defined by Implementation Strategy ‘as a world-class centre for employment,
community services, commerce and retail, offering a diverse range of housing options and highly desirable lifestyle amenity’. The services and activities
combined with the CBD Office are in direct response to revitalising Precinct 1 – CBD. The location and focus of all services and activities is on Precinct 1
and is therefore known as the Rateable Area (Refer to Map 1).
Owners or occupiers of properties under Categories 3, 4, 7 and 8 in Precinct 1 – CBD specially benefit from the services and activities to be delivered to
a greater extent than any other rateable property, or owner or occupier of other rateable properties within the Rateable Area (or elsewhere in the city)
because of:
• the nature and objectives of those services and activities;
• the nature and uses of the types of properties under Categories 3, 4, 7 and 8 contributing to the main purpose of the act being economic
development;
• the proximity of those properties to the delivery of those services and activities; and
• the consequential economic benefit which will be, or which is expected to be, derived by those properties, or their owners or occupiers.
These rateable properties, or their owners or occupiers, will, as opposed to other rateable properties or owners or occupiers, specially benefit from the
delivery of the services even though services and activities may be delivered generally within the Rateable Area. The rateable properties identified to
specially benefit from the delivery of the services and activities and which are more particularly described below are known as the Rateable Land.
