Rental arrangement categories for state land tenures

Category 14.2 covers leases, licences and permits to occupy for sporting and recreational purposes where the landholder is a sporting or recreation organisation with 2000 members or more, whose constitution does not permit its profits to be distributed to its members.

How your rent is determined

The annual rent is calculated as 5% for the land on which the clubhouse and associated amenities are situated and 1% for the remainder of the land under the lease, as prescribed by the Land Regulation 2020. The minimum rent as prescribed by the Land Regulation 2020. This is indexed annually, with new rents coming into effect from 1 July each year.

Due date

Annual rents are due on 1 September of the financial year for which the rent is payable. Invoices are normally issued before the end of July.

Quarterly payments

You may be eligible to make quarterly payments if your annual rent is greater than $2000. If eligible, you will be sent an invoice for the quarterly payment about 30 days before it is due. Payments are due on 1 September, 1 December, 1 March and 1 June.

If you would prefer to make a single payment for the total annual rent, email ltladmin@resources.qld.gov.au or call (07) 3199 7817.

Penalty on late payment

If you do not pay the rent within the time prescribed on the invoice, you will be required to pay penalty interest on the rent outstanding until the day the rent is paid. This is in addition to the rent.

Penalty interest rate

The penalty interest rate, accruing daily and compounding monthly, is 2% above the Suncorp-Metway business variable lending base rate as at 1 July of the annual billing period.

Hardship assistance

If you hold a term or perpetual lease, a road licence or occupation licence and are suffering financial hardship, you may be eligible to defer your payment. Holders of permits to occupy are not eligible.

If your application is successful, you will be allowed to defer all or part of your rent for the rental period. See deferring your rent or instalment for more information.

Note: No interest will be charged on the deferred rent.
