Maximise Refunds On Council Charges! Pie Solutions (Jason Miller)
Ever had unexpected infrastructure contributions blow your feasibility out of the water?
You’re not alone. Most developers don’t realise just how critical infrastructure contributions are until it’s too late when council hands you a hefty infrastructure charge or conditions your DA with unexpected infrastructure to be delivered. And if you don’t know the difference between trunk and non-trunk infrastructure, you’re likely leaving tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table.
Here’s the kicker: local governments have an incentive to condition non-trunk infrastructure, shifting the cost burden onto you. But what if you knew how to fight back legitimately?
This month at Property Developer Network, we’re bringing in Jason Miller from PIE Solutions, a leading expert in infrastructure planning, funding, and delivery. Jason’s going to break down Queensland’s infrastructure charging framework in plain English. No jargon, no fluff so you can finally understand:
• How are charges calculated? including credits for existing development
• What trunk infrastructure is, and how to get council to classify it correctly
• How to negotiate Infrastructure Agreements for offsets and refunds
• The importance of the Priority Infrastructure Area (PIA) if you are delivering infrastructure
• Where and when you can recover the costs of development infrastructure (roads, sewer, water supply, stormwater and parks infrastructure)
If you're sick of being caught off guard, want to protect your profits, and start treating infrastructure as a strategy rather than a cost, this is a session you can't afford to miss.
