Collecting infrastructure charges

We collect infrastructure charges in both monetary and non-cash form. This is because developers may provide trunk infrastructure instead of paying the levied infrastructure charge.

Collected revenue may sit with us for a period of time before we spend it on trunk infrastructure.

If a development approval lapses, we may not collect all charges levied through development.

Under the Planning Act 2016 (Qld), infrastructure charge revenue:

  • collected in monetary form doesn't need to be spent in the same place it was collected
  • may be used to pay for shared regional-scale infrastructure such as an arterial road or sewerage treatment plant.

Offset provisions under the Planning Act 2016 allow for an entire infrastructure charge, relating to more than one network, to be applied against the cost of infrastructure. This is under a condition of the development approval issued, such as constructing an arterial road.
