Changes to 2019-20 Infrastructure Charges

Queensland Urban Utilities’ development fees and charges are set in accordance with infrastructure charges levied by councils across our service areas of Brisbane City Council, Ipswich City Council, Lockyer Valley Regional Council, Scenic Rim Regional Council and Somerset Regional Council.

New 2019-20 council infrastructure charges are anticipated to come into effect on 1 July 2019. Following publication of updated infrastructure charge rates from our shareholder councils, our Water Netserv Charges Schedule and developer fees and charges will be revised to come into effect on this date.
