That's why I'm posting on here JSOE, so that anyone in the same boat can use this to help them as precedent is applicable. Cheers!

Got awesome news this morning. QUU Infrastructure charges were amended from $14,000 to zero. Please see the screenshot attached. (I couldn't copy and paste from PDF and couldn't be bothered retyping it!) I am told by my town planner that many have not been awarded this correction...

It's a bit odd the way it's occurred. We haven't been hit with charges on any of our other projects between July 2014 and now thankfully, but it's a concerning precedent, which is why I'm going to continue fighting it as hard as possible.

Exactly what Sailesh said mate. One of the pros of these type of blocks as opposed to similar sized blocks with only 1 lot, is that you don't need to lodge any form of development application to BCC, nor pay infrastructure charges for the subdivision which can cost between 40-60k on top of...

Got a call from the office of the CEO today, told me it was looking likely they would cancel the charges. I'm not getting my hopes up yet, but I'm doing my best to stay positive. The fellow I spoke to had some authority (the first time we spoke to someone in QUU that appeared to have such...

Yeah I dodged one of those recently too :D It's all good when you can make decisions based on information made available to your town planner etc, but makes it bloody hard when council and QUU change the playing field without telling anyone! Cheers,

Hi, we are lodging our appeal/dispute this coming week as we have run out of time but still waiting for outcomes of the communications of our Local Councillor, State and Federal Members to a variety of places, such as Lord Mayor Quirk, The Minister for Infrastructure and Planning and the QUU...

Hi mate, yep that's exactly the issue.

Quick update - for anyone that is interested. We have spoken to our Federal MP - he is drafting a "strongly worded" letter to Lord Mayor Quirk. Very nice guy - not sure if his input can really help, but every little bit can I suppose. Shortly after that we spoke to our State MP - she was...

Mate PM me and we can have a chat if you want over the phone. Cheers,

Hi mate this was my reaction too. Are you saying you had two water connections already? We have not as of yet received the BCC notice asking for their pound of flesh, so our fingers are crossed there, however I believe we may see them when building certification/approval is applied for...

What I find infuriating is the fact that we have not lodged any form of development application on the block whatsoever. Based on your above comments, taken directly from the SPA2009, how can QUU be charging us anything yet, as we have not lodged any form of development application or permit...

Hi there, We have recently applied for connections for water and sewer for a two lot into two title "splitter" project in Brisbane City Council region. The water is a "standard" QUU connection, and the sewer is being handled through our civil engineer as it requires a small relocation of...
