In Timor 34 Pty Ltd v Logan City Council [2024] QPEC 27, the appellant, Timor 34 Pty Ltd, appealed against an infrastructure charges notice issued by Logan City Council. The primary grounds of the appeal were whether the charges notice contained an error in the application of the Logan Charges Resolution (No.10) 2022 and whether the amount levied was so unreasonable that no reasonable local government could have imposed it.
The court found no merit in the appellant's assertions that the Council erred by adopting a quantity of 72 suites rather than 6 and by not applying an adopted charge of $30,677 for 6 suites. It also concluded that the amount levied was not unreasonable. Consequently, the Planning and Environment Court, presided over by Judge Williamson KC DCJ, dismissed the appeal and confirmed the decision to give Infrastructure charges notice number LCC/067/2023, reflecting a charge of $1,577,664 for 72 suites.
