Council Incentives and Support
Council offers a number of incentives to assist development projects in the region.
Bundaberg Regional Council is committed to supporting projects of regional significance. Council has developed a new incentive to help facilitate the development of regional important projects that involve significant job creation and investment in building construction work.
Discount incentive
- Council is offering a discount of up to 100% off levied infrastructure charges for projects of regional significance. This incentive is for any development that:
- Has a monetary value of building work that is $15 million or greater (inclusive of GST) and;
- Will provide 50 or more additional direct local full-time equivalent jobs during the operation
Or
- Council considers a special/extraordinary community or environmental benefit
This incentive will require an infrastructure agreement. In deciding an application for this incentive, Council will determine the amount of any incentive (i.e. maximum percentage or dollar value) and may require the development to be completed within a particular timeframe to be eligible for the incentive.
