Purpose of Report/Background
Applications in the Ripley
Valley Priority Development Area
Development
applications located within the Ripley Valley Priority Development Area (Ripley
Valley PDA) are required to be submitted to the Minister of Economic
Development Queensland (MEDQ) for assessment and decision. On 30
September 2013 the development assessment decision making powers for the Ripley
Valley PDA was delegated to Ipswich City Council (Council) for all assessment
functions. Since then, Council has been deciding applications in the
Ripley Valley PDA pursuant to the Economic Development Act 2012 as the
MEDQ Delegate.
Ripley
Valley PDA Offsets
Trunk
infrastructure to be delivered in the Ripley Valley PDA is governed by the Ripley
Valley Priority Development Area Development Charges and Offset Plan,
commonly referred to as “the DCOP”. On and from the date the
DCOP took effect, the DCOP prevails over other instruments concerning charges,
credits, offsets and refunds in the Ripley Valley PDA.
Where a PDA
development approval requires the applicant to provide a Land Contribution or
Works Contribution, the applicant may lodge an application to the MEDQ for the
following types of offset claim:
1. Provisional Offset – where the applicant
seeks to vary the scope, timing or cost of infrastructure land and works.
Having decided the request, the MEDQ must give a notice to the applicant
stating:
a) whether a Provisional Offset will be given for the
contribution
b) if a provision offset is to be given:
i. the Provisional Offset Value for the Works
Contribution
ii. the Provisional Offset Value for the Land Contribution,
or
iii. the Provisional Offset Value for the Implementation Works
Contribution.
A Provisional Offset has a
currency period of two (2) years from the date of decision.
2. Final Offset – for a Works Contribution,
Land Contribution or an Implementation Works Contribution. Having Decided
the request, the MEDQ must give notice to the applicant stating:
a) Whether a Final Offset will be given for the
contribution
b) Which Development Charge Type (ie. sub-regional charge,
balance municipal charge, implementation charge) the Final Offset Value will be
offset against
c) If a Final offset is to be given:
i. The timing of the offset accrual,
ii. The Final Offset Value for the Works Contribution,
iii. The Final Offset Value for the Land Contribution,
iv. The Final Offset value
for the Implementation Works Contribution, or
d) Where an applicant’s offset claim has not been
accepted, the MEDQ will provide written notice of reasons for rejecting the
applicant’s request.
The
applicant’s request for Infrastructure Offset Claims and/or Refunds are
referred to Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) for assessment. Once
EDQ has assessed the application, EDQ notifies Council of the endorsed Offset
Value and the relevant component/s of the Development Charge Type.
Council, as the MEDQ Delegate, then gives notice to the applicant of the
application outcome.
