Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) The council may, for a financial year, make and levy a utility charge for supplying water or sewerage services before construction of the facilities for supplying the services is completed if, when the charge is made and levied--
(a) either--
(i) construction of the facilities has started; or
(ii) the council intends that construction of the facilities will start during the financial year and has included, in its budget for the year, the funds necessary for construction to start; and
(b) the council reasonably believes the services will be supplied within the next financial year.
(2) The utility charge is not invalid merely because the services are not supplied within the next financial year because of circumstances beyond the council's control.
